Embryo growth after 12 months of dry storage was negligible and was observed only in
embryo cultures with growth hormones (c. 12 %) and no embryo growth was evident after 3 months of storage at − 18 °C in either medium.
Most notably, however, parthenogenic blastocysts were only produced from
embryos cultured with supplementation and not with Sage or IVM - medium alone (Table 2 and Figure S2).

Visually, she is filming and analyzing time - lapse images of human

culture.
Using her new
culture system, she joined forces
with colleagues to research which cells in an
embryo contribute to which parts of the adult animal, a process called fate - mapping.
Furthermore, genes that are lethal when knocked out in
embryos can be analyzed
with RNAi in cell
culture.
Although a clause in the law that funds NIH prevents the agency from funding research that would harm or destroy an
embryo, a lawyer at the Department of Health and Human Services ruled in 1999 that because stem cells — which can grow ad infinitum in
culture — are not themselves
embryos, the NIH could fund work
with cells that were derived by privately funded researchers or researchers overseas.
The growth potential of excised
embryos cultured on 1/2 MS medium declined by 31 % after 1 month of dry storage or after 24 h of dry storage at − 18 °C (Table 3), but growth was similar to that of
embryos from freshly collected seeds (c. 80 %) when
embryos were
cultured with growth hormones.
For Noggin protein - treated caps, stage 9 animal cap explants were
cultured with 500 nM mouse Noggin protein (Sigma - Aldrich, catalogue number N6784) in 0.7 × MMR and 50 µg / ml gentamicin sulphate and grown to sibling
embryo stage 15 for transplantation.
Early development is also studied

I disagree
with a moratorium, which is in any case unlikely to work well, indeed I am fully supportive of research being carried out on early human
embryos in vitro [in
culture / in the lab], especially on
embryos that are not required for reproduction and would otherwise be discarded.
We exploit chick and mouse
embryo animal models, combined
with live imaging, cell and tissue
cultures and molecular approaches.
Ex vivo cortical electroporation (E15 mouse
embryos) coupled
with organotypic
culture for 5 days results in radial migration of EGFP + pyramidal neurons to the cortical plate (CP) and the projection of their axon in the intermediate zone (IZ).
While the genome editing capabilities without
cultured primordial germ - cells is limited and a slower process, the optimization of methods for handling
embryos and caring for engineered birds will be instrumental to an efficient de-extinction program as well as genetic rescue of other birds
with similar parenting behaviors to pigeons.
Hence, its members favor primary cell lines and try to avoid experiments
with cultured cell lines, they favor three - dimensional cell
cultures over two - dimensional cell monolayers that are cultivated on hard and flat surfaces and they try to maintain the three - dimensional context of plants, cell clusters, tissues sections and small animal
embryos.
Fused reconstructed
embryos were further activated in 5 µM ionomycin for 5 min, followed by exposure to 1.9 mM 6 - dimethylaminopurine (DMAP) in synthetic oviduct fluid
with amino acids (SOFaa) for 4 h. Following activation,
embryos were then transferred and
cultured in SOFaa.

embryo culture and transfer.
The exact reason for this is unknown, says co-author Michael Chapman, but it likely has to do
with the length of time an
embryo is
cultured in the laboratory.
This technology requires technical skills that are typically not offered by veterinary practices and includes aspiration of immature or mature eggs from mares using ultrasound - guided transvaginal aspiration (TVA) of follicles, in vitro
culture of the eggs, micromanipulation and microinjection of eggs
with a single selected sperm, and
embryo culture in the laboratory,
with freezing, and transfer of
embryos to synchronized recipient mares.
