Scrambled frog eggs return to life
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Eggs have a highly organized spatial structure. Common sense tells us that if we scramble this structure, the life of the egg will probably end. Contrary to this expectation, we discovered that scrambled frog eggs can spontaneously re-organize into compartments that not only resemble cells, but also divide to produce copies of compartments like living cells in a developing embryo. - submission by Xianrui Cheng, James E.
