Sentences with phrase «animal embryo development»

Due to the limited statistical and methodological certainty allowed by biological science, the occurrence of technical errors in biological experiments, the differences between human and animal embryo development, the rapidity by which the cloning procedure produces a totipotent zygote, and the philosophical and theological nature of the question, there is no biological experiment that will prove with moral certainty that a human zygote never exists during the OAR procedure.

Not exact matches

In animals, the process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo.

Generations of biology students have been convinced — in part because of drawings done 123 years ago by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel — that vertebrate embryos of different animals pass through an identical stage of development.

But his lab's animal studies have revealed that asymmetry in an immature egg is important to the development of an embryo.

In previous work Tufts University developmental biologist Michael Levin found that patterns of electrical potentials in the earliest stages of an embryo's development can direct how an animal's body grows, and that manipulating those potentials can cause a creature to sprout extra limbs, tails or functioning eyes.

Although the animals mate in the spring, they undergo «delayed implantation» — the embryo remains in a state of arrested development in the mother's uterus until it attaches and resumes growth.

This is why studies carried out on animal models can help us to understand the development of the human embryo.

Researchers led by Professor Eckhard Wolf, Chair of Molecular Animal Breeding and Biotechnology at the Gene Center and the Department of Veterinary Sciences at LMU, now report in the journal PNAS, that early phases of the development of bovine embryos, might offer a better system for the understanding of the earliest differentiation steps.

Origins of Muscle Stem Cells: During development, the embryo has three different tissue types that, together with the germ cells, will make up the animal's entire body.

Summary: Extremely powerful genes that govern the shape of an embryo from the earliest stages of development have been tinkered with by nature over the course of evolution to create the enormously wide range of animal forms, scientists report in the August 14, 1997 issue of Nature.

Extremely powerful genes that govern the shape of an embryo from the earliest stages of development have been tinkered with by nature over the course of evolution to create the enormously wide range of animal forms, scientists report in the August 14, 1997 issue of Nature.

In this study, the team delved deep into the nucleus of cells belonging to mouse and zebrafish embryos — two important animal models of embryonic development — in order to determine how the Dll4 gene is turned on.

In most animals, mutations in the SMN1 gene cause embryos to die during development.

August 14, 1997 Evolution re-sculpted animal limbs by genetic switches once thought too drastic for survival Extremely powerful genes that govern the shape of an embryo from the earliest stages of development have been tinkered with by nature over the course of evolution to create the enormously wide range of animal forms, scientists report in the August 14, 1997 issue of Nature.

In 2013, Peterson and his colleagues Joanna Yeh and Keith Joung were first to use the new technology to engineer a new strain of animal — a zebra - fish missing the GSK3ß gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in energy metabolism and the development of cell and body structures as an embryo grows.

She works in a WSU lab that focuses on evaluating hormonal regulation in the oviduct and uterus during fertilization, pre-implantation embryo development and embryo transport using genetically engineered animal models.
