In this episode, we will talk about morphogenesis in embryo development, a process that in mammalians is known to show considerable plasticity. Understanding how this process is coordinated and how it responds to stress and physiological regulatory mechanisms provides us with a more complete picture of the regulation of mammalian development. We will talk with the authors of new research published in Stem Cell Reports on the regulation of embryo size and the timing of morphogenesis, critical early steps in embryonic development.

 About Stem Cell Reports
Stem Cell Reports is the open access journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies. Stem Cell Reports focuses on original research with conceptual or practical advances that are of broad interest to stem cell biologists and clinicians.
