Comparative aspects of early lineage specification events in mammalian embryos–insights from reverse genetics studies

K Simmet, V Zakhartchenko, E Wolf - Cell Cycle, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Within the mammalian class, formation of the blastocyst is morphologically highly conserved
among different species. The molecular and cellular events during preimplantation embryo …

Stress‐induced alterations in oocyte transcripts are further expressed in the developing blastocyst

Z Roth - Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The oocyte achieves its developmental competence through the lengthy process of
folliculogenesis. It can therefore potentially be exposed to various stressors while enclosed …

[HTML][HTML] Epigenetic remodeling in preimplantation embryos: cows are not big mice

PJ Ross, RV Sampaio - Animal Reproduction, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Epigenetic mechanisms allow the establishment and maintenance of multiple cellular
phenotypes from a single genomic code. At the initiation of development, the oocyte and …
