Human fingers and toes do not grow outward; instead, they form from within a larger foundational bud, as intervening cells recede to reveal the digits beneath. This is among many processes captured ...

Scientists have created a spatial atlas of the incredible process of human limb development, including steps that show digits emerging from a bud as cells recede, instead of growing outward. With ...

Scientists reveal unprecedented insights into human limb development, including the many intricate processes that govern their formation. Human fingers and toes do not grow outward; instead, they form ...

In a collaborative study, researchers from Kyushu University and Harvard Medical School have identified proteins that can turn or "reprogram" fibroblasts - the most commonly found cells in skin and ...

This study is reported by Jia-Tang Li’s group from the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The development of limbs is significant for the origin and evolution of tetrapods, ...

So they turned their attention to the Iberian ribbed newt, which can regenerate not only body parts that are cut off but parts of its heart as well. There they focused on a molecule known as ...
