See-through fish embryos offer clues to birth defects
To better understand early development, scientists are peeking into zebrafish embryos and studying how cells divide.
Zebrafish embryos are transparent and develop outside the mother’s body, which gives scientists a detailed view of early development.
Lila Solnica-Krezel, professor and head of the department of developmental biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and her team are revealing new clues to how birth defects develop in the tiniest embryos. Here, Solnica-Krezel explains her lab’s recent work, which appears in the journal Developmental Cell.
