His work helped scientists understand that cells
in developing embryos influence the fate of their neighbors.
The researchers at Penn and their collaborators used the Early Embryo Viability Assessment imaging device (or Eeva, developed and manufactured by Auxogyn, Inc.), which records images
of developing embryos during the first three days of laboratory culture, to evaluate embryos transferred into the uterine cavity of 177 patients.
And when they injected the RNA
into developing embryos it produced the telltale patches in nearly 50 percent of the offspring, who in turn passed the trait along to their offspring.
While thalidomide apparently is relatively safe for adults, it can have disastrous effects
on developing embryos.
Quantitative high - speed imaging of entire
developing embryos with simultaneous multiview light - sheet microscopy.
When we prevent cell death by removing p53
from developing embryos, the brain develops to its normal size,» explains Jens Lüders, head of the Microtubule Organization Lab.

entire developing embryos with simultaneous multiview light - sheet microscopy.
Duffy's curiosity about the parasite that she first noticed as a graduate student led her to read every published paper on parasites that
attack developing embryos — commonly known as brood parasites — of Daphnia.
Armed with such precise information, Hertig's research team
found developing embryos in either the fallopian tubes or uteruses of the women and, adapting the headlight from an automobile to illuminate their work, took photographs of early, preimplantation human embryos.
Housing developing embryos in a device inserted into the vagina instead of a lab incubator gives similar success rates to conventional IVF, but could cost less
«Many of them are beginning to be expressed shortly before birth, where they turn off genes that were necessary for the
rapidly developing embryo.
Coordinated misexpression of the EFTFs (pax6, tbx3, rx1, nr2e1, six3, and six6) and otx2 in
developing embryos results in formation of ectopic eye tissue [7].
While embryonic stem cells are widely studied, a lesser known, but still significant, population of stem cells also resides within the
early developing embryo: trophoblast stem cells (TSCs).
«Stem cells in a
healthy developing embryo have a GPS system to alert them about their position in the organ,» says Geoffrey Wahl, a professor in Salk's Gene Expression Laboratory, who led the research.
Developing embryos mostly reside in the horns of uterus during pregnancy, but in late pregnancy (last quarter), all the fetuses» line up towards the body of the uterus.
At this stage, the puppies feel like little lumps ranging from grape size to ping - pong ball based on breed, but they shouldn't be handled much as they are very
delicate developing embryos at this stage.
While axonal degeneration appears to be a major culprit in diseases like multiple sclerosis, it also paradoxically plays an important role in properly wiring the nervous systems
of developing embryos.
If they can be used in living tissue, they might eventually track cells
in developing embryos, the immune system, or cancerous tumors.
In previous experiments, neural stem cells have been able to integrate
into developing embryos and turn into many different types of cells, including heart and liver (ScienceNOW, 1 June) and even blood (21 January 1999).
STEP ONE: THE WORM
EGG DEVELOPS AN EMBRYO: Toxocara eggs are passed in the host's feces (if a fecal sample is tested, it is possible to detect the eggs and confirm roundworm infection).
why they care about
a developing embryo without any real neural structure more than about the dog - level intelligence pig they are happy to eat.»
Why Christians care about
a developing embryo is very simple when you understand the purpose of life.
What I think the Christians can't explain is what this «bad thing» that happens to this soul is or why they care about
a developing embryo without any real neural structure more than about the dog - level intelligence pig they are happy to eat.
At what point does
a developing embryo or infant acquire the full rights and status and protection of a person?
This is not to say that I do not stand in awe of
the developing embryo, a creation of majestic beauty and mystery.
In most birds, reptiles, insects, molluscs, fish, and monotremes, an egg (Latin, ovum) is the zygote, resulting from fertilization of the ovum, which is expelled from the body and permitted to develop outside the body until
the developing embryo can survive on its own.
We can compare the diverse tasks performed by a colony to the many proteins generated by gene transcription, to various cell types of
a developing embryo, or to the firing patterns of neurons in the brain.
The Intrauterine Device (IUD), on the other hand, is quite intentionally lethal in its action on
the developing embryo.
The hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone is a remarkable molecule, which is very unusual because it is produced only by the cells that will become the placenta of
the developing embryo (trophoblast cells).
Sufficient vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients not only support a healthy pregnancy, they're also essential for
a developing embryo and fetus.
These rarely have
a developing embryo.
Also, at this time,
the developing embryo is at most risk from external toxins, making it important that pregnant women avoid the consumption of alcohol, caffeine, cigarette smoke, and certain medications to avoid harming the developing child at this crucial time.
Just as a tailor lays down a chalk pattern on cloth before cutting and sewing a suit, certain genes lay down a pattern for the body on the canvas of
a developing embryo before other genes start sculpting the limbs, trunk, head, and other features.
After being consumed by the mothers, the methyl donors worked their way into
the developing embryos» chromosomes and onto the critical agouti gene.
In
the developing embryo, an initial group of epithelial cells undergoes a shift called an «epithelial to mesenchymal transition» (EMT) to form bones, blood and cartilage as well as the heart.
If a prospective mother is a carrier for the mutated autism risk gene, supplementation of her diet with carnitine before and during pregnancy could help ensure that a sufficient supply of the nutrient is available to
the developing embryo and fetus, thus helping to offset the genetic defect.
Usually they discover about two weeks after conception by which time
their developing embryo is about the size of a full stop, and the neural structure that will eventually grow into the baby's brain and -LSB-...]
Nodal signaling is also required later in zebrafish development when it helps to establish differences between the left and right sides of
the developing embryo.
We can study their DNA text and
their developing embryos and ask, where do the differences arise?
«A wealth of papers have been written on how this RNA is localized and regulated, but it was never clear what the Vg1 protein actually does in
the developing embryo.»
This process changed their shape, imitating what happens when real hearts form in
developing embryos.
