- 发育生物学是发展生物学.
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 细胞生物学 细胞生物学
背景情况:
- 在正在发育的视网膜中,细胞类型的产生依赖于前代能力.
- 多能原始细胞产生多种视网膜细胞类型.
研究的目的:
- 调查生长和分化因子11 (GDF11) 在视网膜发育中的作用.
- 确定GDF11如何影响特定视网膜细胞类型的产生.
主要方法:

The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
