Molecular Mechanisms of Animal Development
Course Description
The course will cover the questions of the molecular mechanisms regulating the development of vertebrate and invertebrate embryos with a particular focus on the role of major signaling pathways such as Activin/Nodal, BMPs, FGFs, canonical Wnt/bcatenin, non canonical Wnt, Notch/Delta, in the control the major event controlling the development such as the definition of embryonic axes, cell identity/cell differentiation, cell proliferation.
