International team creates atlas of early mammalian morphogenesis, revealing consistent structure emergence during embryo development.

An international team from ISTA has created an atlas of early mammalian morphogenesis, analyzing mouse, rabbit, and monkey embryos. Their study reveals that while initial cell divisions are chaotic, a more organized structure emerges as development progresses. The researchers propose a physical model explaining how embryos achieve consistent morphology despite this disorder. This research could enhance understanding of human embryonic development, potentially aiding fertility treatments.
