Programmed cell death is a basic cellular mechanism. Apoptotic-like programmed cell death
(called apoptosis in animals) occurs in both unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and …

Objectives: This paper reviews the effects of elevated maternal temperature on embryo and
foetal development in experimental animals and in humans. Conclusions: Hyperthermia …

In vitro cultured stem cells with distinct developmental capacities can contribute to
embryonic or extraembryonic tissues after microinjection into pre-implantation mammalian …

The mammalian body plan is established shortly after the embryo implants into the maternal
uterus, and our understanding of post-implantation developmental processes remains …

Rat embryos in the organ formation phase (days 9.5–11.5 post coitum) were cultivated in
pure rat serum in the presence of an Aroclor 1254 pretreated liver microsomal preparation …

The 1986 publication of Manipulating the Mouse Embryo catalyzed the interaction between
molecular biology and mammalian embryology. For the first time, detailed instructions on …

Providing adequate nutrition to the fetus is key to a successful pregnancy. The interstitial
form of implantation displayed by the human blastocyst is generally associated with early …

The spatial and temporal aspects of cranial neural crest cell migration in the mouse are
poorly understood because of technical limitations. No reliable cell markers are available …

In order to realize the maximum potential of whole‐embryo culture techniques, definitive
parameters must be developed for the quantitative estimation of embryonic growth and …

A survey of mouse gene knockouts, transgene insertions and spontaneous mutations that
are lethal prenatally reveals that surprisingly few developmental disturbances lead to death …
