A new high-powered microscope has allowed scientists to watch a zebrafish develop from a single cell into an embryo with a beating heart, the first time this has been possible in vertebrates, ...

With the development of an adaptive, multi-view light sheet microscope and a suite of computational tools, researchers have captured the first view of early organ development inside the mouse embryo.

A recent developed microscope has allowed scientists to hold a front-row view on the “drama of mammalian development”. Scientists can now see inside a living mouse embryo, such as seeing the gut ...

Compared to the low-tech way of studying development in mice — scrutinizing day-old mouse fetuses, then another bunch that are an hour older, and more that are two hours older, and so on up to the end ...

Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have generated a digital zebrafish embryo - the first complete developmental blueprint of a vertebrate. With a newly developed ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

"This microscope is very, very, very unusual," says Keller, a developmental biologist and optical physicist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia research campus. That's because it's built ...

LONDON (Reuters) - A new high-powered microscope has allowed scientists to watch a zebrafish develop from a single cell into an embryo with a beating heart, the first time this has been possible in ...
