Cell contraction drive the initial shaping of human embryos - EurekAlert
<p><strong>Human embryo compaction, an essential step in the first days of an embryo’s development, is driven by the contractility of its cells. This is the finding of a team of scientists from CNRS, Institut Curie, Inserm, AP-HP and the Collège de France. Published in the 1<sup>st</sup> May edition of Nature, these results contradict the presupposed driving role of cell adhesion in this phenomenon and pave the way for improved <em>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</em>.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
