DNA 'flight recorder' traces embryonic development cell by cell
Researchers have developed a new method that can track the entire process of embryonic development at the cellular level. This breakthrough allows for a detailed, cell-by-cell understanding of how an embryo grows and forms its major organs. The technology is similar to a flight recorder.
Why it's good news: It will help scientists better understand the complex processes involved in embryonic development.
