Developmental Biology
Definition of Developmental Biology as it relates to Science, Mathematics, Medical Biology
Developmental biology is the scientific study of how organisms grow and develop, exploring the complex processes that transform a single fertilized egg into a multicellular organism with specialized tissues and structures. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, including genetic regulation, cell differentiation, pattern formation, and morphogenesis. Research in developmental biology has significant implications for our understanding of human health and disease, particularly in areas such as stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and teratology. In the context of medical biology, developmental biology provides crucial insights into the mechanisms underlying congenital disorders and birth defects, making it an essential area of study for medical professionals and researchers alike.
