The Morphogenesis Of Evolutionary Developmental Biology

The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics, medical embryology and mathematical modeling. This essay will trace one of the major pathways, that from evolutionary embryology to Evo-Devo and it will show the interactions of this pathway with two other sources of Evo-Devo: ecological developmental biology and medical developmental biology. Together, these three fields are forming a more inclusive evolutionary developmental biology that is revitalizing and providing answers to old and important questions involving the formation of biodiversity on Earth. The phenotype of Evo-Devo is limited by internal constraints on what could be known given the methods and equipment of the time and it has been framed by external factors that include both academic and global politics

UK donor registries

Fertility services have been formally regulated in the UK since 1991, following implementation of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (“The Act”). The Act established a statutory regulatory agency, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), whose responsibilities include licensing certain forms of fertility treatment and to maintain a register of information (s31). The register includes details relating to donors, recipients of donated gametes and embryos, and children born as a result of all donor procedures provided by a licensed treatment centr

Konsep Dasar Embriologi: Tinjauan Teoretis

Embryology is part of a study of developmental biology. In embryology widely used terms that will clarify a process, and the state or the name of a body part, such as teratology, is part of a study of embryology and cause birth defects. Fetuses and embryos as another name for the developing fetus. Individual development process involves five kinds of processes, namely the growth, differentiation, cellular interactions, movement and metabolism. The fifth process will always be found in every stage of human development (day after day and week after week). Embryology process closely related to the presence and action of genes in the body. Advances in technology have shown that the lack of regulation in the body at the cellular level is called the molecular regulation and signaling. Key words ; embryology, developmental of biolog

1988-2008: Twenty years of BICA

The celebration of BICA’s twentieth anniversary in 2008 provides a timely opportunity to chart and review the Association’s achievements since its inception and, with an eye to the future, to identify continuing challenges - including those inherent in provisions in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill that is currently under parliamentary review

A Reappraisal of the Ascending Systems in Man, with Emphasis on the Medial Lemniscus

This volume of "Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology" is based on material assembled by Dr. Jaap H.R. Schoen who was one of the few neuroanatomists to apply the Nauta method to human material. Gaining insight in the consequences of longitudinal damage to the human spinal cord is necessary before reimplantation of the avulsed rootlets or an autologous transplant can be performed in man

Relavance of Garbhotpattikar Shadbhav in genesis of foetus

Genetics is the science that deals with transmission of biological properties from parents to offspring. It crisscross with life science and linked with modern embryology. In Ayurveda certain factors are described in view of genesis of embryo or foetus. Acharyas had described Ashtaprakriti, Shodashvikara and Atma in the formation of Garbh. While describing detailed embryology Acharyas have described about Matrijadi Garbhotpattikar Shadbhav. These are factors described for the development of foetus. As Ayurveda is based on eternal and concealed facts. Modern embryology is much advance in this field. Development of embryois is well defined. Whatever the features and development of different parts of foetus described with assistance of the 6 factors may be helpfull to enhance the goal of Ayurveda embryology, that is Suprajanan

Die »Notwendigkeit eines Vaters für das Kind« und der Zugang lesbischer Frauen zur Reproduktionsmedizin (The child’s need for a father and access to assisted reproductive technologies by lesbians)

This chapter provides an overview of two broad areas relating to lesbians’ use of reproductive services for family building. First, it identifies strategies used in the building of ‘planned’ lesbian families – where a lesbian couple, the genetic mother and the social or ‘co’ mother, plan their family together - and in which children are raised from birth without the presence of a father. Second, it reviews policy and legislation regulating and restricting lesbians’ use of reproductive services in a number of countries both globally and specifically in Europe, before considering in more detail the ‘need for a father’ debate in the United Kingdom that resulted in legislative provisions effective from October 2009, formally ending discrimination against lesbians seeking to access fertility services in the United Kingdo
