Anterior-posterior polarity, illustration C018 / 0916
Anterior-posterior polarity, illustration. The unequal distribution of proteins or other factors within a newly fertilised zygote or developing embryo is a key mechanism for establishing the axes within the organism around which development may proceed. For example, anterior-posterior polarity in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is dictated by the flow of cytoplasmic granules and PAR proteins to one side of the the embryo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Anterior-posterior polarity, illustration C018 / 0916" offers a visual representation of the intricate process involved in establishing axes within organisms during development. The image showcases the unequal distribution of proteins or other factors within a newly fertilized zygote or developing embryo, which plays a crucial role in determining anterior-posterior polarity. The vibrant green hues and detailed artwork bring to life the concept of embryogenesis and its significance in nature's grand design. It highlights how the flow of cytoplasmic granules and PAR proteins towards one side of the embryo dictates this essential polarity in Caenorhabditis elegans, a nematode worm. Through this mesmerizing illustration, we gain insight into the fascinating world of biology and zoology. The concentration gradient depicted here emphasizes how morphogens contribute to localizing specific characteristics within an organism as it grows and develops. Claudia Stocker's artistic talent shines through this visually stunning piece that seamlessly merges scientific concepts with aesthetic appeal. This print serves as both an educational tool for those interested in developmental biology and an exquisite work of art capturing nature's complexity.
