Several important questions guide research in Evo Devo histology:
How do genetic changes affect tissue development? Researchers investigate how mutations, gene duplications, and regulatory changes impact the development and function of tissues. What are the conserved developmental pathways? Identifying conserved pathways helps in understanding fundamental biological processes that are shared across different organisms. How do tissues adapt to new functions? Examining how tissues evolve to perform new or specialized functions can reveal insights into adaptation and functional morphology.
