Two-Cell Mouse Embryos are Planning Their Future: Bioengineering Study

Mouse embryos are contemplating their cellular fates in the earliest stages after fertilization, when the embryo has only two to four cells, discovered bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego. This is a major breakthrough that could upend the scientific consensus about when embryonic cells begin differentiating into cell types. Their research, which used single-cell RNA sequencing to look at every gene in the mouse genome, was published recently in the journal ...
