Comb jelly embryos reveal embryonic signaling center shared across early animal evolution
Biologists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena have discovered that comb jellies possess an embryonic signaling center similar to those found in vertebrates. This finding suggests that the fundamental coordinate system for body development is a shared trait across early animal evolution.
