Embryonic development or embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo is formed and develops. It starts with the fertilization of the ovum, egg, which, after fertilization, is then called a zygote. The zygote undergoes rapid mitotic divisions, the formation of two exact genetic replicates of the original cell, with no significant growth (a process known as cleavage) and cellular differentiation, leading to development of an embryo.
In association with Stanford University, a working group from the Division of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Vienna) has discovered the role of a crucial factor that plays a role in early embryonic development.
