Development of an in vivo system to model breast cancer metastatic organotropism and evaluate treatment response using the chick embryo [PDF]
Summary: Metastatic lesions produced through the process of systemic tumor cell dissemination and growth at distant sites are challenging to treat and the primary cause of patient mortality.

Antioxidant systems in chick embryo development. Part 1. Vitamin E, carotenoids and selenium
Chick viability is known to be an important factor determining profitability of the poultry industry. Chick embryo tissues contain a high proportion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids in the lipid fraction and therefore need antioxidant defence.

Protocol for performing angiogenic and tumorigenic assays using the in ovo chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane model [PDF]
Summary: The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a viable alternative in vivo model to explore cancer biology due to its simplicity, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.

RNA interference is ineffective as a routine method for gene silencing in chick embryos as monitored by fgf8 silencing. [PDF]
The in vivo accessibility of the chick embryo makes it a favoured model system for experimental developmental biology. Although the range of available techniques now extends to miss-expression of genes through in ovo electroporation, it remains difficult

Disruption of embryonic blood-CSF barrier in chick embryos reveals the actual importance of this barrier to control E-CSF composition and homeostasis in early brain development [PDF]
In vertebrates, early brain development takes place at the expanded anterior end of the neural tube. After closure of the anterior neuropore, the brain wall forms a physiologically sealed cavity that encloses embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (E-CSF), a ...

High-Performance Microcomputing Tomography of Chick Embryo in the Early Stages of Embryogenesis
X-ray contrast techniques were tested on the chick embryos in early periods of embryogenesis. For contrast stain, reagents with radiopacity in various concentrations were used: silver proteinate, eosin, Lugol’s solution (I2KI), phosphomolybdic acid and ...

Assessment of DNA Damage in Chick Embryo Brains Exposed to 2G and 3G Cell Phone Radiation using Alkaline Comet Assay Technique [PDF]
Introduction: The cellular phones/mobile phones have emerged as the fastest growing man-made phenomenon ever discovered in the history. Controversies still exist among the scientific community regarding the ill-effects of Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR ...

Mechanosensitive Pathways in Heart Development: Findings from Chick Embryo Studies
The heart is the first organ that starts to function in a developing embryo. It continues to undergo dramatic morphological changes while pumping blood to the rest of the body.
