Cellular crowding in fruit fly embryos triggers a critical DNA reorganization, biologists find

After fertilization, embryos race through rapid cell divisions before slowing down to build specialized cells that will carry out distinct functions in the developing body—but the signals that trigger ...

Crowding in fly embryos triggers a key DNA reorganization

Cellular traffic jams inside a fruit fly embryo might sound like a minor detail, but new work suggests they help flip a fundamental genetic switch. As cells pack together during early development, ...

Deep-learning model predicts how fruit flies form, cell by cell

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of MIT engineers has now developed a way to predict, minute ...
