  • Call for participants in the EMBO Workshop: Cell Biology of Early Mouse Development, 9-12 September 2012, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, UK

  • The Zernicka-Goetz group have created a system that for the first time allows development of the mouse embryo to be observed as it is happening during implantation stages, outside the body of the mother. This offers unprecedented opportunities to study mammalian development, including specification of the body plan, at a stage that has previously been hidden from view. Research funded by the Wellcome Trust has been published in Nature Communications.
