We focus on limb developmental heterochrony that widely present in mammalian species (here using mouse as a representative): alturl.com/ce77d Another fascinating piece by @sermenchero.bsky.social James Turner lab on anterior-posterior heterochrony of opossum: alturl.com/4wj33
Shifts in embryonic oxygen levels cue heterochrony in limb initiation
Heterochrony, or the alteration of developmental timing, is an important mechanism of evolutionary change. Avian species display synchronized growth of the forelimbs and hindlimbs, while mammalian spe...

Growth-induced physiological hypoxia correlates with growth deceleration during normal development
Growth deceleration is a universal feature of growth during development: most organs and tissues slow down their growth rate much before growth termination. Using transcriptomics analysis, we show tha...
