Developmental biology research involves studying how an organism develops, grows, and in some cases, evolves. It encompasses metamorphosis, morphogenesis, regeneration, asexual reproduction, and the development and differentiation of stem cells. Embryology, a sub-field of developmental biology, focuses on organisms between the single-cell stage (i.e. the zygote) and the end of the embryonic stage.
Developmental biology and embryology focus on investigating and identifying the necessary steps and stages for the development and formation of a complete and disease-free body. Current research relies on the use of model organisms; due to common evolutionary roots, there is much conservation of developmental mechanisms between species, enabling researchers to study the developmental process, that is relevant to humans, in other, more easily studied, species.
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of antibodies, proteins, and assays for developmental biology research that exhibit high specificity, activity, performance, and reproducibility in a range of techniques, including: Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), and ELISA. These research tools are commonly used to study development, cell growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis.
