The vertebrate embryo (Xenopus laevis), the striped invertebrate embryo (ftz expression in Drosophila melanogaster) and the hydra represent important model systems on which Developmental Biology research was founded in Swiss laboratories over the past centuries. The background consists of a 3-D rendered image of the Matterhorn (Cervin/Cervino), made available by the Department of Geography, University of Zurich (Data courtesy: aerial photography, Swiss Federal Office of Topography; image processing and computer graphics, Remote Sensing Laboratories; digital elevation model, M. Heller). The cover was adapted from a design by Tina Siegenthaler and Daniel Bopp.
