Following the Sugar Right From the Start: Researchers Image Glycans on Embryonic Cells Hours After Fertilization

(PhysOrg.com) -- Berkeley researchers successfully attached imaging probes to glycans - the sugar molecules that are abundant on the surfaces of living cells -- in the embryos of zebrafish less than seven hours after fertilization. This new technique enables scientists to study the physiological changes cells undergo during embryogenesis without invading and doing damage to the embryos.
