This review highlights the history of Developmental Biology studies in Latin-American countries of Central America, the northern region of South America and the Caribbean and their impact on the field. For this, we have compiled the contributions made by investigators in various institutions of the region, including universities, as well as agricultural, research and health centers. Most of the contributions focus on particular fields, among them, Evo-Devo, regenerative biology, nervous system development and health related issues. A large share of the contributions originates from a subset of countries, primarily, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Puerto Rico. In addition, we underscore the new investigators and the ongoing research in the region.
这篇综述强调了中美洲、南美洲北部和加勒比地区拉丁美洲国家在发育生物学研究方面的历史及其对该领域的影响。为此，我们汇编了该地区各机构的研究人员的贡献，包括大学以及农业、研究和卫生中心。大多数贡献集中在特定领域，其中包括演化发育、再生生物学、神经系统发育和与健康相关的问题。大量贡献主要来自哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、厄瓜多尔、巴拿马和波多黎各等少数几个国家。此外，我们强调了该地区的新研究人员和正在进行的研究。
