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 ...

LimbLab is an open-source tool that can help developmental biology researchers visualise and analyse 3D data for developmental processes. LimbLab is a specialised pipeline that can organise messy 3D ...

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 ...

Fingerprints are among the most distinctive features of human biology, serving as enduring identifiers for individuals and as windows into genetic and developmental processes. The three major ...

The proteins needed to create limb progenitor cells are marked with different colors under a microscope. Credit: Yuji Atsuta/Tabin lab How do organisms form limbs in the womb? Scientists have been ...

Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in three dimensions, but many studies are limited by the use of two-dimensional ...

Perhaps like a limb with multiple digits? The team will also try reintroducing the genes in tetrapod species, which normally lack the genes, to see how they affect limb development. "We will continue ...

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 ...
