It is not birth, marriage or death, but gastrulation that is truly the most important time in your life.” When the eminent embryologist Lewis Wolpert wrote these words 30 years ago in From Egg to ...
Scientists from Helmholtz Zentrum München are revising the current textbook knowledge about gastrulation, the formation of the basic body plan, during embryonic development. Their study in mice has ...
Only two weeks after fertilization, the first sign of the formation of the three axes of the human body (head/tail, ventral/dorsal, and right/left) begins to appear. At this stage, known as ...

It’s one of life’s most defining moments—that crucial step in embryonic development, when an indistinct ball of cells rearranges itself into the orderly three-layered structure that sets the stage for ...
A new discovery by researchers challenges our current understanding of gastrulation, the most important stage of early embryonic development. When the zygote, or the fertilised egg, starts to develop, ...
Gastrulation, a prerequisite for organogenesis, begins with the formation of the primitive streak (PS), where epiblast cells experience an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to exit the ...
In vivo model systems are essential to study the various roles of this fascinating family of proteins in vertebrates. Among them, the zebrafish offers a number of advantages, for example, rapid ...

Gastrulation is the formation of the three principal germ layers - endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. Understanding the formation of the basic body plan is not only important to reveal how the ...
