New insights into the way cells break away from a tissue during embryonic development may also shed new light on the same process in the context of cancer metastasis.
In this fluorescent microscopy image of endoderm tissue from a mouse embryo, cell membranes are red, cell nuclei are blue, and extra-embryonic endoderm cells are green (they appear turquoise because blue and green are merged).
In the Lab
A large study that analyzed nearly 120,000 cells in a developing mouse embryo is full of surprises.
