As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, essential for forming facial bones and the nervous system. The enzyme ...

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Recent research has significantly advanced our understanding of the biology of neural crest cells, particularly their differentiation, migration, and the regulatory networks that govern these ...

Researchers found that electric fields inside embryos guide migrating cells. The enzyme Vsp1 helps cells sense and respond to ...

Building and shaping an embryo requires the concerted effort of numerous signals and molecular interactions during development. One essential aspect of this process is collective cell migration, where ...
