Developmental Biology

Developmental Biology is the branch of biology that studies how living organisms grow and develop from a single cell into complex structures. It explores the processes that govern cell differentiation, tissue formation, and organ development throughout an organism’s life cycle, from fertilization to maturity. By examining these mechanisms, scientists aim to understand the underlying principles of growth, regeneration, and evolution, as well as to uncover the causes of developmental disorders. This field integrates genetics, cellular biology, and molecular biology to provide insights into how life forms are shaped and function.
