Human pluripotent stem cells: an emerging model in developmental biology.
Developmental biology has long benefited from studies of classic model organisms. Recently, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells, have emerged as a new model system that offers unique advantages for developmental studies. Here, we discuss how studies of hPSCs can complement classic approaches using model organisms, a...
متن کاملChromatin plasticity in pluripotent cells.
ESCs (embryonic stem cells), derived from the blastocyst stage embryo, are characterized by an indefinite ability for self-renewal as well as pluripotency, enabling them to differentiate into all cell types of the three germ layers. In the undifferentiated state, ESCs display a global promiscuous transcriptional programme which is restricted gradually upon differentiation. Supporting transcript...

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...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology
At the core of biology is the study of development. How do organisms from all modes of life grow from one single cell to a complete and functional body? How do we know to establish “right” from “left,” or know to form a certain number of fingers and toes? Why can some organisms regenerate organs, while others must do without if they are lost? What processes occur as a tadpole becomes a frog? As...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology
Although the idea of furthering one’s career has universal appeal, it can be quite difficult to determine the best way to fulfill our professional aspirations. In Becoming a Successful Scientist, Dr. Craig Loehle attempts to describe the mental tools required for an aspiring scientist. The bulk of the book is dedicated to problem-solving strategies and guidelines for scientific discovery, but b...
