www.cell.com/cell-systems... Great review from Pulin Li's lab on synthetic developmental biology - the knowledge gained through bottom-up reconstruction of developmental processes is not just how the embryo works, but also how multicellular systems CAN possibly work to generate form and function.
Discovering what is possible: How synthetic biology illuminates developmentWhile embryos have long served as the foundation of developmental biology, in vitro
reconstruction of developmental modules has provided insight into their operational
rules and limits. Using three re...www.cell.com
