Ecological developmental biology: developmental biology meets the real world.
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 field of ecological developmental biology ...
متن کاملDevelopmental origins of hypertension: biology meets statistics.
T he concept that environmental factors during development—both in utero and in early childhood—can permanently alter the adult phenotype derives from the seminal epidemiologic observations of Professor David Barker (1). He and his colleagues showed in the early 1990s that low birthweight predicted increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including insulin resistance/diabetes (2–4), obesity (...
متن کاملCreating to understand - developmental biology meets engineering in Paris.
In November 2016, developmental biologists, synthetic biologists and engineers gathered in Paris for a meeting called 'Engineering the embryo'. The participants shared an interest in exploring how synthetic systems can reveal new principles of embryonic development, and how the in vitro manipulation and modeling of development using stem cells can be used to integrate ideas and expertise from p...
متن کاملBeyond Arabidopsis. Translational biology meets evolutionary developmental biology.
Developmental processes shape plant morphologies, which constitute important adaptive traits selected for during evolution. Identifying the genes that act in developmental pathways and determining how they are modified during evolution is the focus of the field of evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo. Knowledge of genetic pathways in the plant model Arabidopsis serves as the starting...
متن کاملREACH and reproductive and developmental toxicology: still questions.
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a new chemicals regulation law in the European Union (EU). The law is supplemented by tens of thousands of pages of guidance documents, and the implementation of REACH is still a work in progress. Requirements for chemical testing are based on the annual volume of a chemical or 'substance' that is produced or impor...
