Researchers developed a method that visualizes gene activity across an entire embryo with high spatial detail. The resulting ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Scientists have long observed that embryos of different species within a phylum look quite distinct at early and late ...

In the experiments with zebrafish embryos, when this PAPC is not excluded, the cells do not move to the appropriate location, preventing the notochord from elongating to its proper length. The ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...
