    In the early 20th century Hans Spemann was a well-known figure in experimental embryology, which refers to the study of how tissues and cells become specified in the developing embryo. By this time period embryologists were employing amphibian species, such as frogs or newts, as model systems for embryonic development due to their large cell size a...

    Hilde Mangold was born 20 October 1898 in Gotha Thuringia, an east central German province. Her parents, Ernest and Gertrude Proescholdt, owned a soap factory, and were considered quite wealthy for the time. Little else is known about Hilde’s early life. She attended the University of Jena for two years before transferring to the University of Fran...

    The Organizer paper has been calledone of “the most significant events in experimental embryology.” Mangold and Spemann laid the groundwork for research on embryonic induction, the process by which certain cells release signals and direct neighboring cells to move or differentiate in specific ways. Hans Spemann accepted the Nobel Prize for this wor...

  2. Jan 12, 2012 · The Spemann-Mangold organizer, also known as the Spemann organizer, is a cluster of cells in the developing embryo of an amphibian that induces development of the central nervous system. Hilde Mangold was a PhD candidate who conducted the organizer experiment in 1921 under the direction of her graduate advisor, Hans Spemann, at the University ...

  3. Hilde Mangold (née Proescholdt) was a German embryologist who was best known for her 1923 dissertation which was the foundation for her mentor, Hans Spemann's, 1935 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the embryonic organizer, "one of the very few doctoral theses in biology that have directly resulted in the awarding of a Nobel Prize".

  4. Jun 26, 1998 · Hilde Mangold died in an accidental explosion at age 26, just as their paper was being published. But the discoveries, published in 1924, triggered a flurry of research in embryology, and Spemann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1935. He was the first developmental biologist to win the award. He died in Freiburg in 1941.
