Introduction: Drosophila—A Model System for Developmental Biology
Drosophila melanogaster, known colloquially as the fruit fly, remains one of the most commonly used model organisms for biomedical science.[...].
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology of Caenorhabditis elegans: Symposium Introduction.
T h e comple te pos tembryon ic ceil l ineages of the free-l iving nenta todes Caenorhabditis elegans and Panagrellus redivivus are known. Pos tembryonic cell divisions lead to subs tan t ia l increases in the n u m b e r of cells and, in mos t cases, in the n u m b e r of types of cells in the neurona l , muscu la r , hypodermal , and digestive systems. T h e pa t te rns of pos tembyron ic cel...
متن کاملThe introduction of Xenopus laevis into developmental biology
The ever greater concentration of biomedical research on fewer and fewer species is a striking general feature of the postwar era. In developmental biology, the South African clawed frog Xenopus laevis is, with Drosophila, the mouse, the chick, C. elegans and the zebrafish, one of only half-a-dozen ‘model’ organisms used for the vast majority of research. How did a species which occurs naturall...
متن کاملHumans and primates: New model organisms for evolutionary developmental biology?
If the animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm had been biologists, they might have proclaimed that while all organisms are unique, some are more unique than others. Perhaps with some justification, we humans often apply that essentialist view to our own especially interesting phenotype. We are the only striding, tailless bipeds; we have absurdly long ontogenies for our body size; our brains are...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology
Developmental Biology's excellent reputation in Freiburg goes back to the days of the Hans Spemann who received the Nobel prize for his groundbreaking discovery of an "organizer center" in early amphibian embryos that controls the behavior and fate of surrounding cells. Today the University of Freiburg is one of the few universities in Germany that offers a full curriculum in Developmental Biol...
