Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that can reproduce and predict the patterns associated with gastrulation in a chicken embryo. Gastrulation is one of the most important phases in ...

Graduate student Shubham Sinha (left) and assistant professor of physics Vivek Prakash (right) stand in front of projections of cell motion inside chicken embyros that they captured. Their research, ...

Scientists revise the current textbook knowledge about gastrulation, the formation of the basic body plan during embryonic development. Their study in mice has implications for cell replacement ...

How does the “body” take shape? The body of animals is highly complex, containing distinct regions that carry out specific functions. As the body forms during embryogenesis, three germ layers are ...
