Developmental Biology Is “Cruzing” [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2004 AbstractThe 2004 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting took place August 5th–8th and covered a diverse range of current topics in developmental biology. This report discusses some of the highlights.

iScience, 2022 Summary: Activity-dependent calcium signals in developing muscle play a crucial role in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) formation. However, its downstream effectors and interactions with other regulators of pre- and postsynaptic differentiation are poorly ...

Nothing makes sense in deep learning, except in the light of evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Deep Learning (DL) is a surprisingly successful branch of machine learning. The success of DL is usually explained by focusing analysis on a particular recent algorithm and its traits. Instead, we propose that an explanation of the success of DL must look at the population of all algorithms in the field and how they have evolved over time.

Apicosome: Newly identified cell-type-specific organelle in mouse cochlear and vestibular hair cells
iScience, 2023 Summary: Cochlear and vestibular hair cells are highly specialized sensory receptors for hearing and balance. Here, we report a serendipitous identification of a hair-cell-specific organelle in neonatal mouse inner ear, which we name “apicosome.” The ...

Sox9 regulates melanocytic fate decision of adult hair follicle stem cells
iScience, 2023 Summary: The bulge of hair follicles harbors Nestin+ (neural crest like) stem cells, which exhibit the potential to generate various cell types including melanocytes.

Ecological Developmental Biology: Developmental Biology Meets the Real World
Developmental Biology, 2001 The production of phenotype is regulated by differential gene expression. However, the regulators of gene expression need not all reside within the embryo. Environmental factors, such as temperature, photoperiod, diet, population density, or the presence of predators, can produce specific phenotypes, presumably by altering gene-expression patterns. The

Developmental biology of lichens [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1993 SUMMARYLichen‐forming fungi are a large, taxonomically diverse group of nutritional specialists which acquire fixed carbon from a population of minute green algal or cyanobacterial cells. Mycobionts of foliose or fruticose lichens differ from the rest of the fungi by expressing morphologically and anatomically complex symbiotic phenotypes.

Genetics and developmental biology of cooperation [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractDespite essential progress towards understanding the evolution of cooperative behaviour, we still lack detailed knowledge about its underlying molecular mechanisms, genetic basis, evolutionary dynamics and ontogeny. An international workshop “Genetics and Development of Cooperation,” organized by the University of Bern (Switzerland), aimed at ...

Form, function, mind: what doesn't compute (and what might) [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The applicability of computational and dynamical systems models to organisms is scrutinized, using examples from developmental biology and cognition. Developmental morphogenesis is dependent on the inherent material properties of developing tissues, a non-computational modality, but cell differentiation, which utilizes chromatin-based revisable memory ...
