Analysis of cell lineage in two- and four-cell mouse embryos

Analysis of cell lineage in two- and four-cell mouse embryos.

Compared with other animals, the embryos of mammals are considered to have a highly regulative mode of development. However, recent studies have provided a strong correlation between the first cleavage plane and the future axis of the blastocyst, but it is still unclear how the early axes of the preimplantation embryo reflect the future body axes that emerge after implantation. We have carried ...

The Effects of Ethanol and Strontium on Growth and Development of Two-Cell Arrested Mouse Embryos

P-101: Effects of Ethanol and Strontium on Growth and Development of Two-Cell Arrested Mouse Embryos

Background: Arresting in a certain step of development like two-cell stage could be one of the reasons of infertility. The aim of this study is evaluating the effects of ethanol and strontium on growth and development of two-cell arrested mouse embryos. Materials and Methods: The females were coupled with male following superovulation. Positive vaginal plug mice were killed 48 hours after hCG i...

P-102: The Effect of Strontium on Growth and Development of Two-Cell Arrested NMRI Mouse Embryos

Background: Decreasing the growth and developmental rate of embryo and arresting in certain step of development like two cell block could be the reason of infertility in some couples referring to fertility and infertility center. The aim of this study is the effect of strontium on growth and development of two-cell arrested NMRI mouse embryo. Materials and Methods: The female mice were coupled ...

Cell lineage and determination of cell fate in ascidian embryos.

A detailed cell lineage of ascidian embryos has been available since the turn of the century. This cell lineage was deduced from the segregation of pigmented egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres during embryogenesis. The invariant nature of the cell lineage, the segregation of specific egg cytoplasmic regions into particular blastomeres, and the autonomous development of most emb...
