Studies in Amsterdam have shown the effect of mechanical stress on the early development of chicken embryos. At this early stage, before the nervous system has developed, stress can change the morphology of the embryo. At present there is no accurate measurement system for these studies, and this will be developed in this project.
Such studies can lead to better understanding of the early development of embryos, in particular the role of mechanical stress therein.
