COORDINATION BETWEEN EMBRYO GROWTH AND TROPHOBLAST MIGRATION UPON IMPLANTATION DELINEATES MOUSE EMBRYOGENESIS

This study develops an engineered uterus-like microenvironment to study mouse embryo implantation, revealing coordination between trophoblast migration and embryo growth.

A robust ex vivo system to study cellular dynamics underlying mouse peri-implantation development

This paper develops an ex vivo culture system to study mouse peri-implantation development, revealing a mechano-chemical interplay between extra-embryonic and embryonic tissues.

Contact-dependent cell communications drive morphological invariance during ascidian embryogenesis

The paper investigates how contact-dependent cell communications maintain morphological invariance during ascidian embryogenesis despite genomic divergence.

Bicoid gradient formation mechanism and dynamics revealed by protein lifetime analysis

The paper uses a fluorescent timer to analyze Bicoid gradient dynamics in Drosophila embryos, revealing parameters consistent with the synthesis-diffusion-degradation model.

A real-time compression library for microscopy images

The paper introduces a real-time compression library for microscopy images, offering fast lossless and lossy compression with high compression ratios.
