Desynchronizing Embryonic Cell Division Waves Reveals the Robustness of Xenopus laevis Development

The early Xenopus laevis embryo is replete with dynamic spatial waves. One such wave, the cell division wave, emerges from the collective cell division timing of first tens and later hundreds of cells throughout the embryo. Here, we show that cell division waves do not propagate between neighboring...
