Watching and measuring what happens in tissues inside the human embryo is currently not possible, and it's difficult to do in mammalian models. Because humans and the fruit fly Drosophila share so ...

In contrast, experiments in genetically modified Drosophila embryos demonstrated that when the nuclei aligned with LR-asymmetry, the subsequent LR-asymmetric development of the AMG was lost.

During the maternal-to-zygotic transition in Drosophila, the pioneer transcription factors Zelda and GAF jointly regulate the transcriptional activation of zygotic genes in the early embryo ...

Here we describe a protocol for the fabrication and use of a microfluidic device to rapidly orient >700 Drosophila embryos in parallel for end-on imaging. The protocol describes master ...

After 13 rapid divisions a fertilized fly egg consists of about 6,000 cells. They all look alike under the microscope. However, each cell of a Drosophila melanogaster embryo already knows by then ...

“We produce a virtual embryo with about 8000 expressed genes per cell,” the article’s authors wrote. “Our interactive “ Drosophila -Virtual-Expression-eXplorer” (DVEX) database ...

Single-cell approaches and deep learning construct the most complete and detailed map of embryo development in any animal to date.

Zebrafish Embryo - Dr. Philipp Keller and Raghav K. Chhetrii Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute / Ashburn, Virginia, USA / Spatially isotropic whole-animal functional imaging ...

Objective Biotechnology, a pioneer in nextgeneration research tools, today announced the commercial launch of the Autoinjector, the first fully automated robotic system for microinjection in ...

This method optimizes embryo permeabilization and age, cryoprotectant agent composition, different phases of nitrogen (liquid vs. slush), and post-cryopreservation embryo culture methods.
