The study yielded clear evidence for a common basis for developmental stability and canalization.
Background Understanding where and when inductive signals impinge on cells is crucial for determining the basis for developmental processes, homeostatic function, physiological responses and the course of many diseases.
The research team drew upon the expertise of breast cancer biologists and consulted with the U.S. EPA to identify the assays most relevant to breast carcinogenesis on the basis of their predictive power for developmental and reproductive toxicity and endocrine activity.
One such model organism is zebrafish, which is one of the most popular model organisms for understanding the genetic and molecular basis of developmental and physiological processes.
Anatomical and morphogenetic analysis of forelimb muscle regeneration in GFP-transgenic axolotls as a basis for regenerative, developmental, and evolutionary studies: limb regeneration in salamanders.
Martinez Arias, A., Nichols, J. & Schroter, C. A molecular basis for developmental plasticity in early mammalian embryos.
As we look to the future, it is clear that studies seeking to establish the epigenetic basis for developmental regulation in insects, as with environmental caste determination (Kucharski et al. 2008), will benefit from investigating both DNA methylation and hPTMs.
Previous studies in Arabidopsis have utilised variation between natural accessions to identify the genetic basis for developmental differences [ 27, 28], including small RNA-mediated regulation of flowering time [ 29], self-incompatibility [ 30] and root growth [ 31].
Like pretty much all developmental conditions, the spectrum of disability is quite varied for developmental and intellectual disabilities.
This preliminary study aims to trace the spatiotemporal dynamics of facial emotion processing during adolescence and provide a basis for future developmental studies and comparisons with patient populations that have social-emotional deficits such as autism.
