  • New Research Decodes the Electric Blueprint of Embryo Development
    by TU Dresden on January 21, 2025 at 8:05 pm

    How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells constantly communicate to organize into tissues and organs. This process requires cells to interpret various environmental signals, which can be chemical or mechanical. However, these signals alone do not fully explain how cells migrate collectively. A growing body […]
