The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller cells at the margin—a size gradient that controls the timing of everything ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...

Figure 1: Similarity of spatial firing during early exposure to circular- and square-walled enclosures. It is unlikely that this shape-specific divergence in place fields could be due to the passage ...
