"Early embryogenesis" refers to the very beginning stages of development in an embryo, shortly after fertilization. It includes the processes and changes that occur as the embryo develops into a more complex organism.

Each colored circle in the image shows one of the embryo's cells, and the corresponding tail indicates that cell's movement over a short time interval
during early embryogenesis (at around 3 hours post-fertilization).
Not only by providing evidence that epigenetic modifications in flies can be transmitted down through generations, but moreover by revealing that epigenetic marks transmitted from the mother are a fine - tuned mechanism to control gene activation during the complex process
of early embryogenesis.
Dr. Anju Vasudevan's work
on early embryogenesis of the forebrain vascular system has opened up an entirely new conceptual framework from which to view this important component of brain development.
«Our study offers not only a better understanding of how NF - kB pathway
regulates early embryogenesis, but also how careful we have to be regarding the use of IKK inhibitors at the clinical level,» says the Current Biology paper's first author, Ricardo Correa, formerly a scientist in Verma's Laboratory of Genetics and now a research fellow at University College London.
Tachibana, M.; Sugimoto, K.; Nozaki, M.; Ueda, J.; Ohta, T.; Ohki, M.; Fukuda, M.; Takeda, N.; Niida, H.; Kato, H.; Shinkai, Y. G9a histone methyltransferase plays a dominant role in euchromatic histone H3 lysine 9 methylation and is essential
for early embryogenesis.
Our recent analysis of SAC signaling in C. elegans revealed that there is a gradual increase in SAC strength
during early embryogenesis, as cells become smaller and smaller (1).
The data show that the presence of a modification of an evolutionary conserved structure, such as the presence of a rib on the seventh vertebra (a cervical rib, i.e. a change in the number of cervical vertebrae), can be used as a reliable indicator of disturbances
of early embryogenesis (Collaboration with Liliane Wijnaendts, Free University Medical Centre (VUMC).
When they had a closer look into the embryos, the team found that several important developmental genes that are normally switched off during
early embryogenesis were turned on in embryos without H3K27me3.
He currently investigates versican in
early embryogenesis, the participation of ADAMTS cleavage of versican in extraembryonic vasculature, and the role of ADAMTS9 in embryogenesis.
Whitehead Institute researchers have determined that poly (A) tails on messenger RNAs (mRNAs) shift their role in the regulation of protein production during
early embryogenesis.
