How egg shape coordinates the cascade of early development
In A Nutshell Egg geometry drives development: The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller cells at the margin—a size ...

Geometry shapes life: Embryo curvature acts as instruction manual for coordinated cell division
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications ...
Professor Bruce Draper uses zebrafish as a model to study development. Work from his lab in the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences shows how certain genes are linked to sex change in fish and ...
New life begins with the meeting of sperm and egg. But how they fuse together has long been a mystery. New research by scientists in Austria provides tantalizing clues, showing fertilization works ...
