Section overview
Description
Every organism has a genetically determined shape typical of its species. Genes generate a multitude of biochemical functions during development. The main topics of scientific research conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying spatial information within the embryo, communication between cells in the induction process, as well as the formation and differentiation of tissues and organs.
