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, ...

Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in‑vitro fertilization (IVF), yet it remains one of the ...

A smart new microscope has given scientists a front-row seat to the drama of mammalian development. For the first time, researchers can now peek inside a living mouse embryo and watch the gut begin to ...

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 ...

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.
