During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo.

Visualizing neural-circuit assembly in vivo requires tracking growth of optically resolvable neurites. The Caenorhabditis elegans embryonic nervous system, comprising 222 neurons and 56 glia, is ...

Caenorhabditis elegans has long served as an ... Recent studies have made significant strides in characterising the cellular and molecular events that underpin embryonic development in C. elegans.

Nearly every stage of C. elegans development and life has been studied in great detail – except the final six hours of embryogenesis. Now, scientists collaborating at the Marine Biological ...

Roundworms even more useful than researchers previously thought Date: October 5, 2016 Source: Uppsala Universitet Summary: The one millimetre long roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has been used as ...

Producing a new 'gene atlas' with 4-D imaging, the researchers captured unprecedented insights on how embryonic development unfolds. Skip to main content Your source for the latest research news ...

In a paper in Science this week, Penn researchers report the first detailed molecular characterization of how every cell changes during animal embryonic development. The work, led by the ...

Studying the embryonic development of animals is therefore of great importance to better understand evolutionary mechanisms. ... such as sticklebacks or the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, ...

But recently experts have also started to pay attention to another, often overlooked set of factors: physical constraints such as size. In new work published today in Nature Physics, a team of ...

A new, open-source software that can help track the embryonic development and movement of neuronal cells throughout the body of the worm, is now available to scientists. The software is described ...
