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 ...

Researchers use a light-activated protein to illuminate when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division.Cell division ...

Scientists have pinpointed a stage in zebrafish embryo development where cells can better withstand disruptions to chromosome alignment during division. Using a light-activated tool to inhibit the ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...
