Sexual reproduction begins with sperm–oocyte fusion to form a zygote, where chromatin undergoes dramatic reorganization to establish totipotency. Although nucleosomes- the basic units of eukaryotic ...

During early mouse development, a fluid-filled lumen inflates the embryo. Membrane protrusions called inverse blebs have been found to form at cell–cell contacts. Cycles of inverse bleb filling and ...

The team mapped the spatial and temporal patterns of glucose uptake using single-cell-resolution imaging of developing mouse embryos, stem cell models, and embryo-derived tissues. They found that the ...

Protein modifications are key to cell survival because they ensure they do what they are supposed to do in a healthy system. One vital modification involves adding sugar molecules to proteins, a ...
