First Map of Human Limb Development Reveals Unexpected Growth Processes and Explains Syndromes Found at Birth
Scientists reveal unprecedented insights into human limb development, including the many intricate processes that govern their formation.
Human fingers and toes do not grow outward; instead, they form from within a larger foundational bud, as intervening cells recede to reveal the digits beneath. This is among many processes captured for the first time as scientists unveil a spatial cell atlas of the entire developing human limb, resolved in space and time.
