Dynamic optima in cell sizes during early development enable normal gastrulation in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract excerpt

Cell migration is the main driver of the evolutionarily conserved process of gastrulation, which shapes metazoan embryo morphology. The molecular and cellular mechanisms of cell migration during gastrulation though well researched lacks an understanding of the contribution of cell sizes to collective cell migration. This is especially important during the early phase of metazoan development, which is dominated by...
