Human Developmental Biology

Human Developmental Biology is the study of how humans grow and develop from a single fertilized egg into a fully formed individual. It explores the processes involved in cell division, differentiation, and organ formation during embryonic and fetal stages of life. This field examines genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors that influence development, aiming to understand both normal growth and potential developmental disorders. By understanding these processes, scientists and medical professionals can improve health outcomes and address issues related to growth and development in children.
