Epigenetic reprogramming in early embryonic development reorganizes DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin structure, and gene expression after fertilization. Learn how these processes regulate embryonic genome activation, pluripotency, cellular differentiation, genomic imprinting, X-chromosome regulation, and developmental biology.

Branching morphogenesis transforms simple epithelial buds into complex, tree‑like organ structures. This article explains the signalling pathways, mechanical forces, and developmental strategies that shape branched organs.

Somite formation is the rhythmic process that produces the segmental units of the vertebrate body. This article explains the segmentation clock, somite differentiation, and the development of the axial skeleton and musculature.

Developmental biology is the study of how organisms grow, develop, and change over time. Explore embryology, cell differentiation, morphogenesis, organogenesis, developmental genetics, signaling, stem cells, regeneration, plant and animal development, and evolutionary developmental biology.
