Video Clips
A demonstration by Dr. Barbara Meyer of how a branched genetic pathway can be affected by mutations in different parts of the pathway.
Video Clips
Time-lapse microscopy showing cell division from 1 to 2 to 4 cell stages in C. elegans with fluorescent chromosomes.
Video Clips
Video of the fertilization of the C. elegans oocyte, the fusion of the egg and sperm nuclei, and the egg laying.
Video Clips
Video microscopy demonstrating how sperm from an infertile male can be injected into a female egg.
Video Clips
Video microscopy of sperm motility in an average human male and an infertile male.
Video Clips
A growth cone contacts a repellant molecule on another axon, collapses, and withdraws.
Video Clips
A mini-documentary discussing the remarkable regenerative capabilities of the planarian, and how HHMI researcher Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado uses them to study the biology of stem cells.
Lectures
An overview of embryonic development, the progressive differentiation of cells, and properties of embryonic stem cells.
Lectures
In cloning, a cell's genetic machinery is reprogrammed. Can we similarly coax stem cells to become specific cell types?
Series
Doug Melton and Nadia Rosenthal are leaders in stem cell research, working primarily with mouse and human tissue. They will discuss where embryonic and adult stem cells come from and the biology of how they supply the cells the body needs.
Lectures
Normally the trillions of lymphocytes in the human body do not attack their host.
Animation
The fetal brain grows enormously during pregnancy, both in terms of its size and the number of neurons it has.
Animation
The inner cell mass (ICM) cells of blastocyst-stage early human embryos can be removed and cultured. These cells can be grown in the lab indefinitely. Various growth factors cause these cells to develop into a variety of differentiated cells, such as muscle or nerve cells.
Animation
Cytoplasmic factors play a significant part in determining how a cell develops. This segment discusses their importance in turning the appropriate genes on and off for proper development.
Animation
As a human embryo develops, its cells become progressively restricted in the types of specialized cells that they can produce. Inner cell mass (ICM) cells of the blastocyst can make any type of body cell. Gastrula-stage cells can give rise to the cells of a given germ layer. Later, cells become...
Animation
Human embryonic development depends on stem cells. During the course of development, cells divide, migrate, and specialize. Early in development, a group of cells called the inner cell mass (ICM) forms. These cells are able to produce all the tissues of the body. Later in development, during...
Animation
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technique for cloning. The nucleus is removed from a healthy egg. This egg becomes the host for a nucleus that is transplanted from another cell, such as a skin cell. The resulting embryo can be used to generate embryonic stem cells with a genetic match to...
Animation
In the stickleback fish, pelvic-fin reduction resulted from changes in the regulatory switch elements of the Pitx1 gene. In the marine ancestor, the Pitx1 gene is activated in the pelvic-fin region during development to generate the fin. In the pelvic-reduced stickleback, the regulatory switch...
Animation
This animation shows how the random deactivation of one of the X chromosomes in a pair can lead to a mozaicism in the expression genes.
Animation
Meiosis, the form of cell division unique to egg and sperm production, sets the stage for sex determination by creating sperm that carry either an X or a Y sex chromosome. But what is it about the X or Y that determines sex?
Animation
This animation shows how MIX-1 facilitates both chromosome condensation and dosage compensation.
Video Clips
A reduction in the level of sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene expression can lead to cyclopia.
