The cell cycle oscillator and spindle length set the speed of chromosome separation in Drosophila embryos

The paper shows that spindle length and the cell cycle oscillator regulate the speed of chromosome separation during Drosophila blastoderm cleavage divisions.

Temporal variability and cell mechanics control robustness in mammalian embryogenesis

The paper shows that stochastic division timing and cell mechanics contribute to robust embryo patterning and morphogenesis in mammals.

Robust cytoplasmic partitioning by solving an intrinsic cytoskeletal instability

The paper demonstrates how embryos use microtubule dynamics and temporal control to achieve robust cytoplasmic partitioning through two distinct strategies in zebrafish and Drosophila.

Nuclear instance segmentation and tracking for preimplantation mouse embryos

The paper introduces a dataset and method for nuclear segmentation and tracking in mouse embryos, identifying Stardist-3D as the most accurate method for this task.
