THE iniiRthi
Gravity's Effect on Embryos
Studied by Hebrew U. Staff
JERUSALEM — The
earth's force of gravity is in-
dispensable for the proper
development of an embryo
in the early stages of differ-
entiation, according to re-
search done by Hebrew
University Zoology Prof.
Hefzibah Eyal-Giladi.
Differentiation is the
process by which the divid-
inr- e-, rtilized egg develops
rl
arious cells, each de-
stined to become a different
organ: Without differentia-
tion, the fertilized egg, in-
stead of developing into an
embryo, would only give
rise to layers of identical
cells.
The influence of gravity
on this process gives the de-
veloping embryo its axis of
symmetry and determind
ti cation of the different
bony regions — the head at
one end, the posterior part
at the other and so on. Only
those organisms which have
a circular symmetry, such
as the starfish, might de-
velop without this axis
being defined.
The decisive influence of
gravity on the early differ-
