Power law relationship between cell cycle duration and cell volume in the early embryonic development of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

Cell size is a critical factor for cell cycle regulation. In <i>Xenopus</i> embryos after midblastula transition, the cell cycle duration elongates in a power law relationship with the cell radius squared. This correlation has been explained by the model that cell surface area is a candi...
