Scientists provide measurements for organ development

Organs in the human body have intricate networks of fluid-filled tubes and loops. They come in different shapes and their three-dimensional structures are differently connected to each other, depending on the organ. During the development of an embryo, organs develop their shape and tissue architecture from a single group of cells. Due to a lack …

The gene may play a broader role in the development of embryonic organs

An international study conducted by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bonn has identified a gene that plays an important role in the development of the human embryo. If it is impaired, malformations of various organ systems can result. The gene appeared very early in evolution. It also exists in zebrafish, for example, …
