The field of developmental biology and the study of embryonic development relies on a diverse range of model systems that offer unique advantages and perspectives, allowing researchers to uncover fundamental principles and mechanisms underlying this intricate process.

This Research Topic aims to explore the diverse array of model organisms used in the study of embryonic development and highlight their valuable insights. Contributions to this collection may encompass various experimental approaches, comparative analysis revealing different models’ specific strengths and contributions, and covering all aspects of research investigating embryonic development.

From the more well-established models such as fruit flies, zebrafish, and Caenorhabditis elegans which have elucidated the mechanisms of embryogenesis, pattern formation, and tissue morphogenesis, to mice, frogs, and more which have allowed us to in-depth genetic manipulation and greater experimental accessibility.

We welcome many article types, including Original Research articles, (mini-)Reviews, Methods, Perspectives, and Opinion pieces, to provide a comprehensive and multidimensional view of the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Comparative studies examining similarities and differences in embryonic development across different model organisms, shedding light on evolutionary conserved mechanisms.

• Studies investigating the genetic and molecular factors regulating key developmental processes, such as gastrulation, organogenesis, tissue patterning, and cell fate determination.

• Research exploring the roles of various signaling pathways, such as Wnt, Notch, TGF-beta, and Hedgehog, in orchestrating embryonic development in different organisms.

A full list of accepted article types, including descriptions, can be found at this link.

Keywords: Model Organisms, Embryonic Development, Embryo, Zebrafish, C Elegans, Comparative Biology, Signaling


Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
