Have you ever wondered where bones and muscles come from? When looking at zebrafish development, many stages occur before having a fish. One of them is when the bones begin to form from somites: the somitogenesis. This process is governed by a timing mechanism: the segmentation clock and its synchronization.

To learn more, watch this video made by Samuel Dubois, a student in the Cell Physics Master at the University of Strasbourg, France.
