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 find that close interactions between the mechanical properties of tissues and biochemical signalling between cells ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Striking new psychedelic videos give a glimpse into what living organisms look like during their earliest moments — and it took scientists years to capture. The videos are part of a new atlas of ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 1 in every 100 babies born daily in the United States of America. Although CHD can be surgically repaired, it has been shown to complicate heart health with ...

A new advance in animal husbandry involving a popular aquarium fish should speed the pace of discovery in laboratory studies ...
