From Developing Limbs…

From Developing Limbs, Insights That May Explain Much Else, by Carl Zimmer
Teaser :

Deciphering the development of limbs may also lead to treatments for injuries and birth defects. In the near term, scientists are searching for the signals that cause tendons to develop and attach to bones. The signals might be able to cause cells in [...]
