Marta shares her experience as a mother and a scientist, and how she has managed to balance these two facets of her life during the COVID-pandemic.
Mouse embryos are remarkably plastic. They show plasticity in the regulation of cell fate, cell number and tissue morphogenesis, but the mechanisms behind remain unknown. Here we show that mouse embryos respond to an increase in cell numbers by changing the dynamics and mechanism of embryonic morphogenesis. Read the entire story at:

Aneuploidy is the major limitation of human reproduction. However, the developmental consequences of specific aneuploidies remain unexplored. Here we analysed the post-implantation development of human embryos bearing common aneuploidies. Read the entire story at:
Novel experimental tools are allowing us to explore the mechanisms of our own development. Here I discuss how cell fate specification events and tissue shape changes are coordinated during early human development. You can read the review at:
