Cellular traffic jams inside a fruit fly embryo might sound like a minor detail, but new work suggests they help flip a fundamental genetic switch. As cells pack together during early development, ...
Live imaging of embryos at different stages. Chromosomes are labeled in magenta. 4-cell sister blastomeres are shown, along with 3D-reconstructed images of 2-to-4-cell and 4-to-8-cell divisions.
