Developmental Biology Pattern Formation
Developmental biology is the study of how organisms grow and the cellular and molecular processes and mechanisms which enable the development of an organism from a single cell to a multicellular organism. Pattern formation is the process by which differentiated structures arise within an organism, due to the concerted and coordinated actions of gene regulatory networks. Pattern formation involves a complex and dynamic interplay between stringently regulated cellular processes that result in the formation of tissues, organs, and body plans. Research in developmental biology has greatly expanded our understanding of fundamental biological processes and is responsible for the development of innovative treatments for a variety of diseases.
