Son of Dr. Marcus Born and Fanny Epstein.
Gustav was born in Kempen (today Kepno, Poland), Posen/Preussen, Germany, and passed away in Breslau (now Wroclaw).
Grandson of Meyer-Moses Schaul Buttermilch (Born) and Blunche Marcus Buttermilch.
Great-grandson of Saul Buttermilch and Mindel Buttermilch from Poland.
Brother of Selma Born Jacobi.
An anatomist and embryologist who was the father of Max Born.
Gustav was a professor of embryology at the University of Breslau, and had three children: Max, Kathe (later married Konigsberger), and Wolfgang.
He was married to Margarethe (Gretchen) Kauffman, father of Max Born, and later to Bertha Lipstein.
In his short life Gustav Born's scientific originality and productivity were extraordinary.
Born suggested a type of chemotaxis to explain why corresponding organs sometimes united without having been in contact. Before the discovery of sex determination by the XY chromosomes, Gustav Born discovered environmental factors influencing sex ratio, particularly nutrition.
Born contributed much to knowledge of the development of the septa, ostia and valves of the mammalian heart. For this purpose he invented the wax plate reconstruction method named after him, which has since been used by morphologists everywhere.
However, the most important discovery for which Gustav Born was responsible and which has had enormous effect on human society is the function of the corpus luteum.
Shortly before his death he proposed the hypothesis that the small yellow mass growing in the ovary where the egg had been shed is a gland for producing an internal secretion which prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains the ovum in its lining.
