Tragically, she died before the organizer paper was announced and published) OCLC, viewed August 22, 2017 (access point: Mangold, Hilde, Mangold, Hilde, fl. 1924; usage: Hilde Mangold) Wilkipedia viewed August 23, 2017: (Hilde Mangold, 20 October 1898-4 September 1924), née Pröscholdt, German embryologist known for her 1923 dissertation which was the foundation for her mentor, Hans Spemann's 1935 Nobel Prize for the discovery of the embryonic organizer. The general effect she demonstrated is known as embryonic induction, that is, the capacity of some cells to direct the developmental trajectory of other cells. She was born in Gotha Thuringia, Germany. She attended the University of Jena in Germany for two semesters in 1918 and 1919 and then transferred to the University of Frankfurt where she also spent two semesters. In Frankfurt, she saw a lecture by embryologist Hans Spemann on experimental embryology that inspired her to pursue her education in this field. After Frankfurt, she attended the Zoological Institute in Freiburg where she met and married her husband Otto Mangold who was Spemann's chief assistant. Under Spemann's direction, she completed her 1923 dissertation titled "Über Induktion von Embryonalanlagen durch Implantation artfremder Organisatoren" ("Induction of embryonic primordia by implantation of organizers from a different species"). This was the basis of the discovery of the "organizer" which is responsible for gastrulation. After earning her PhD in zoology, she and her husband moved to Berlin. Shortly after the move, she tragically died from severe burns as a result of a gas heater explosion in her Berlin home, never having lived to see the publication of her thesis results) |
