Scientists have created a spatial atlas of the incredible process of human limb development, including steps that show digits emerging from a bud as cells recede, instead of growing outward. With ...

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 ...

Polydactyly, the presence of extra digits, is one of the most common congenital malformations of the limb. Recent genetic studies have significantly advanced our understanding of limb development by ...
