An unexpected link has been found between the metabolic pathways that produce energy for embryo growth, and the cellular signalling systems that regulate cell specialization and movement during early ...

Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo. For ...

The role of tissue that forms between the head and trunk of a fly embryo has been unclear. It turns out that it absorbs forces when nearby cells move and divide. An early fruit-fly embryo comprises a ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...
