A small tissue fold in fly embryos, once thought purposeless, plays a vital role in stabilizing tissues. Researchers show that it absorbs stress during early development, and its position and timing ...

Researchers have now found, however, that during a crucial stage of development, the regulation of alternative splicing goes wild. Reporting in Science, investigators studied the very early ...

Research led by the University of Plymouth has shown that a new deep learning AI model can identify what happens and when during embryonic development, from video.

In contrast to the development of other animals whose embryonic cells rely on chemical signals for orientation, in P. hawaiensis the grid patterning is a mechanical event that spans two regions — one ...

With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a ...

Researchers at EPFL have created the first 4D lipid atlas of vertebrate development, revealing how fats shape our bodies from ...

This is precisely the time when the embryo undergoes profound changes in shape and develops precursors of various organs -- a highly complex process that leaves many questions unanswered.

4D Imaging: An imaging approach that integrates the temporal dimension into three-dimensional visualisation, enabling real-time monitoring of dynamic embryonic processes.

Studying this process in the human-specific context has posed significant challenges to biologists, but new research offers an unprecedented window into this point in time in human development.

New research has unveiled a remarkable mechanism by which tissues in zebrafish coordinate their growth during embryonic ...

New insights into the way cells break away from a tissue during embryonic development may also shed new light on the same process in the context of cancer metastasis.
