CISPA researcher Sarath Sivaprasad, together with Hui-Po Wang and Mario Fritz from CISPA and other colleagues from HIPS, has developed an AI system that can automatically detect abnormalities in ...

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 ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It's one of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. "The heart is one of the first organs to form and function during ...

New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

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 ...

Naturally occurring haploids are predominantly documented in plants; the first report dates to 1923, when haploid individuals were identified in the Jimson Weed. Haploidy also occurs in certain animal ...

This is a confocal section of an embryo where in one half (right; cells with cyan nuclei), adhesion is decreased by using an optogenetic tool. The left half is epithelialised with tricellular contacts ...
