<p>Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development, a period in which embryos mature from a single cell into distinct cell types.</p>

Once thought to be the trash can of the cell, a little bubble of cellular stuff called the midbody remnant is actually packing working genetic material with the power to change the fate of other cells -; including turning them into cancer.
The so-called midbody remnant is like a 'little lunar lander' that can transfer genetic instructions to other cells, researchers have revealed.
