Getting at Developmental Processes Through Experiments
Birren and Bengtson’s (1988, p. ix) assessment of the field of aging research that it is “data rich and theory poor” still holds today and applies to developmental science as a whole. The accumulation of descriptive results that are not integrated into overarching theories of development lead to less progress in gaining knowledge about developmental processes than one might wish for, particular...

The discovery of oncogenes provided insight into the molecular underpinnings of cancer and suggested the promise of novel molecular strategies for cancer treatment as highlighted in this issue by Yaari et al. and by Bishop previously (1, 2).

Fertility in about 40 per cent of the world’s countries is now below the replacement rate. Another 40 per cent are experiencing continued downward movement of...
متن کاملDevelopmental Evolution: Getting Robust About Robustness
In the context of development, a process is robust if it can proceed normally despite the enormous capacity for perturbation inherent in all biological systems. A new mode of theoretical modeling of genetic networks holds great promise for increasing our understanding of both the quantitative mechanisms of robustness and its evolutionary impact.
