Developmental biology, the stem cell of biological disciplines. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Developmental biology (including embryology) is proposed as "the stem cell of biological disciplines." Genetics, cell biology, oncology, immunology, evolutionary mechanisms, neurobiology, and systems biology each has its ancestry in developmental biology.

The Core & Periphery Hypothesis: A Conceptual Basis for Generality in Cell and Developmental Biology [PDF]
Cell Systems 15:9 (2024) 790-807, 2023 The discovery of general principles underlying the complexity and diversity of cellular and developmental systems is a central and long-standing aim of biology. Whilst new technologies collect data at an ever-accelerating rate, there is growing concern that conceptual progress is not keeping pace. We contend that this is due to a paucity of appropriate

Two Metrics on Rooted Unordered Trees with Labels [PDF]
Algorithms Mol Biol 17, 13 (2022), 2021 The early development of a zygote can be mathematically described by a developmental tree. To compare developmental trees of different species, we need to define distances on trees. If children cells after a division are not distinguishable, developmental trees are represented by the space $\mathcal{T}$ of rooted trees with possibly repeated labels ...

Advocating developmental biology [PDF]
Development, 2018 Developmental biology is a discipline with a long and rich history, a vibrant and diverse present, and a future of tremendous potential. The field has had enormous impact beyond its own boundaries, for example providing many key concepts for medical research and laying the foundations for ...

A lncRNA perspective into (re)building the heart
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 Our conception of the human genome, long focused on the 2% that codes for proteins, has profoundly changed since its first draft assembly in 2001. Since then, an unanticipatedly expansive functionality and convolution has been attributed to the majority ...

Developmental biology of the pancreas [PDF]
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2004 In this review, I summarize some aspects of murine pancreas development, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the ontogenetic relationships between different pancreatic cell types. Lineage analyses allow the identification of the progenitor cells from which mature cell types arise.

Natural selection. II. Developmental variability and evolutionary rate [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology 24:2310-2320 (2011), 2011 In classical evolutionary theory, genetic variation provides the source of heritable phenotypic variation on which natural selection acts. Against this classical view, several theories have emphasized that developmental variability and learning enhance nonheritable phenotypic variation, which in turn can accelerate evolutionary response. In this paper,
