The edges of biological tissues create boundaries that help cells position in a magnet-like manner, giving order to developing embryos.

In the earliest stages of life, mammalian embryos start as a disorganized cluster of cells. As development progresses, these cells become organized into well-defined shapes and structures. This ...

The team mapped the spatial and temporal patterns of glucose uptake using single-cell-resolution imaging of developing mouse embryos, stem cell models, and embryo-derived tissues. They found that the ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...
