Abstract

Based on systematic characterization of cell division, volume, and shape changes by in toto imaging, Niwayama et al. propose a model in which a tug-of-war between cell shape and the apical domain determines division orientation to ensure robust cell allocation and patterning in mouse pre-implantation embryos.
