Animals: are multicellular organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.
Challenges in achieving comparability, reproducibility and accuracy in biological assays has driven a demand for improved confidence in measurements that support development of regenerative m...
