The genetic and environmental determinants of plant size, growth rate, reproduction, and survival were examined in five populations of Carex aqualtilis by reciprocal transplants to arctic, subarctic ...

A non-native plant species spreading along an environmental gradient may need to adjust its growth to the prevailing conditions that it encounters by a combination of phenotypic plasticity and genetic ...

Inspired by the processes of cellular differentiation observed in developmental biology, researchers have demonstrated a new spontaneous approach to building communities of cell-like entities ...

“Our lab uses different polymers to interact with the nervous system. We think there's a window after injury that seems to mirror development,” said Paul George, a physician scientist at Stanford ...

Gradients of molecular signaling factors play an essential role in numerous events in embryonic development, from patterning limb and organ formation to the intricate shaping of the brain and ...

In the multicellular organism, cells develop from a single pluripotent/stem cell and differentiate into different cell types during proliferation. The gene regulatory network (GRN) plays an important ...
