Where trouble starts

(University of Delaware) In the earliest hours of your embryonic status, cells were developing and multiplying, critical processes were starting up, networks were connecting and genetic codes -- for better or worse -- were directing the whole project.That early development is the focus of University of Delaware biologist Shuo Wei's research. Wei looks specifically at how problems in cellular signal relays affect these processes and cause birth defects and now his research has won more than $1.8 million in support from the National Institutes of Health.
