چکیده

Teratogenic activity of methadone HC1 (Physeptone, Burroughs Wellcome and Co.) was tested on inbred JBT/Jd and outbred Q strain mouse embryos and on chick embryos. 22-24 mg/kg injected subcutaneously on the 9th day of pregnancy caused by the 13th day exencephaly in 56 out of 479 JBT/Jd embryos but after 32 mg/kg only in 1 out of 220 of the Q strain. Some affected JBT/Jd embryos showed also rachischisis in the cervical area. The second abnormality shown by the embryos of both strains is Z-shaped kinkage of the spinal cord. In explanted chick embryos cultured in vitro as well as in embryos treated in ovo methadone causes non-closure of the neural tube with extensive necrosis of the neural plate cells in the cephalic region. The results of this study indicate that methadone, which is a neutropic drug, has an embryotoxic activity directed against the developing central nervous system.

The Effect of chick Embryonic Somites on Neural Rosette Formation in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

purpose: The aim of the present study is to understand if EBs can generate neural rosette upon co-culture with chick embryo somites. Materials and Methods: The mouse ES cells, line Royan Bl, were cultured in hanging drops to induce embryoid bodies (EBs) formation. Somites were isolated from the chick embryos and then embedded in alginate solution. Finally, alginate beads containing somites were...
