Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in ...

LimbLab is an open-source tool that can help developmental biology researchers visualise and analyse 3D data for ...

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 ...

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 at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing how a specialized signaling center shapes both cell identity and tissue ...

Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a congenital limb anomaly distinguished by the absence or malformation of the central digits in the hands and feet, often accompanied by syndactyly or ...

A new study gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings identify a gene that plays a central role in the evolution of limb development in vertebrates. By manipulating ...

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 ...

During early development, the embryo builds the body's organs by exchanging chemical signals between different cell types. When developing limbs, a thin band of skin cells at the limb’s surface, ...
