Scientists Map How a Single Cell Builds an Entire Mouse

Original: Mapping How a Single Cell Becomes an Entire Mouse

Researchers have produced a detailed map tracing how a single fertilised cell develops into an entire mouse, charting the stages and cell types that emerge as an embryo forms. The work, published by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, offers a developmental atlas that could help biologists understand organ formation and congenital disease. Scientists say such maps provide a reference for studying how genes drive early life.

Why now: New developmental biology research offering an unprecedented atlas of embryonic growth is drawing scientific and public interest.
