Abstract:The abnormal development of embryos is closely linked to abnormal cell division and elongation, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. The embryonic development of C elegans embryo is different because it occurs without cell proliferation or cell rearrangement. Here, we focus on a spectacular 4-fold elongation that is achieved approximately 3 hours before the egg shell hatches and results from active filament networks. The body shape is represented by an inhomogeneous cylinder, which allows us … Show more
