Description:

This course provides an introduction to invertebrate and vertebrate development. It combines the description of classical examples of experimental embryology with the current study of the mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals at the molecular, cellular, and genetic levels. Topics covered include embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, transcriptional control mechanisms and regulatory network, evolutionary mechanisms as well as the discussion of relevant diseases. The laboratory consists of simple experiments on all aspects of development, supplemented by examination of slides and models. Invertebrate (sea urchin, fly) and vertebrate (frog, fish, chick) models are covered.
