The possible mechanism of cell positioning in mouse morulae: an ultrastructural study.
نویسنده
چکیده
Ultrastructure of the mouse morula at the time of formation of the outer cell layer is described. Analysis of relative positions of sister blastomeres, still connected with cytoplasmic bridge, suggests that cell division may occur both tangentially and perpendicularly in relation to the embryo surface. However, there are observations suggesting that active cell movement may be involved in cell positioning already after mitosis. These observations include: (1) the flexure of cytoplasmic bridge, (2) the presence of bundles of filaments in external blastomeres at the late cytokinesis and (3) a striking difference in loose versus tight packaging of blastomeres within the embryo.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of cardiogel and matrigel on the ultrastructure of embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. ECM: Extracellular Matrix derived from cardiac fibroblasts (cardiogel), commercial extracellular matrix (matrigel) and control group (without ECM) were cultured for up to 21 days. Ultrastructural properties of cardiomyocytes were evaluated by transmitting electron mi...
متن کاملAssessment of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Effects on Development of Vitrified Mouse Morulae to the Blastocyst Stage
Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...

Embryos recovered at 62 and 80 h post coitum from reproductive tracts of yellow (Ay/a) and black (a/a) female mice mated to Ay/a males were examined ultrastructurally to define the developmental defect of lethal Ay homozygotes. No abnormalities were observed in five embryos from control matings (female a/a x male Ay/a). Of 24 morulae and blastocysts from Ay/a x Ay/a matings, six were observed t...
