動物発生学I

本講義では，動物の組織・器官の基本構造がどのようにつくられていくか、その発生の基本的概念について背後ある分子メカニズムや細胞生物学的事象を含めて理解する。特に脊椎動物の初期発生おける胚葉誘導、体軸形成、ボディプランの成立を中心に、実験系の歴史的背景から生物種を超えた普遍的なメカニズムを理解する。

In this course, the goal is to understand how the basic structures of animal tissues and organs are formed, including the fundamental concepts of their development, with an emphasis on the underlying molecular mechanisms and cellular biological events. Specifically, the course aims to comprehend the universal mechanisms across species, focusing on the induction of germ layers, the formation of the body axis, and the establishment of the body plan in the early development of vertebrates, from the historical background of experimental systems.
