This polarity likely contributes to a taut cell structure and provides a mechanical force so that the embryo forms its ...

With its specificity, clarity and relative rapidity of detection, FISH remains the technique of choice for direct visualization of DNA and RNA at the single cell, tissue and whole-embryo level.

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Beyond reproduction and embryonic development, the study has broader implications. Solid-like structures in cells are mostly known from pathological contexts, such as prions, which irreversibly ...

rate of misdiagnosis associated with the FISH techniques used to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities in the harvested embryonic cells. In addition, due to the nature of the embryo-harvesting ...
