Optical transfection and injection techniques applied to mammalian and embryonic cells [PDF]
The delivery of biomolecules into living cells is an important methodology in cell and molecular biology. Optical methods using lasers are attractive tools for such application.

Actomyosin polarisation through PLC-PKC triggers symmetry breaking of the mouse embryo
The molecular trigger that establishes cell polarity in the mammalian embryo is unclear. Here, the authors show that de novo polarisation of the mouse embryo at the 8-cell stage is directed by Phospholipase C and Protein kinase C and occurs in two phases:

Oocyte specific lncRNA variant Rose influences oocyte and embryo development
Fully grown mammalian oocytes store a large amount of RNA synthesized during the transcriptionally active growth stage. A large part of the stored RNA belongs to the long non-coding class which contain either transcriptional noise or important ...

Morphogenesis of extra-embryonic tissues directs the remodelling of the mouse embryo at implantation
How the shape of the pre-implantation murine embryo changes dramatically upon implantation is unclear. Here, the authors use live imaging with a cdx2-GFP reporter line in combination with loss of function experiments to demonstrate that FGF signalling ...

Cell arrest and cell death in mammalian preimplantation development [PDF]
The causes, modes, biological role and prospective significance of cell death in preimplantation development in humans and other mammals are still poorly understood.

Biosynthesis and expression of zona pellucida glycoproteins in mammals [PDF]
The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix surrounding the oocyte and the early embryo that exerts several important functions during fertilization and early embryonic development.

Insights into epigenetic patterns in mammalian early embryos
Mammalian fertilization begins with the fusion of two specialized gametes, followed by major epigenetic remodeling leading to the formation of a totipotent embryo. During the development of the pre-implantation embryo, precise reprogramming progress is a

Endometrial stromal cells of women with recurrent miscarriage fail to discriminate between high- and low-quality human embryos [PDF]
Background The aetiology of recurrent miscarriage (RM) remains largely unexplained. Women with RM have a shorter time to pregnancy interval than normally fertile women, which may be due to more frequent implantation of non-viable embryos.

Embryo donation parents' attitudes towards donors : comparison with adoption [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Embryo donation produces a family structure where neither rearing parent is genetically related to the child, as in adoption. It is not known how embryo donation parents view the donors compared with how adoptive parents view the birth ...

The meganuclease I-SceI containing nuclear localization signal (NLS-I-SceI) efficiently mediated mammalian germline transgenesis via embryo cytoplasmic microinjection. [PDF]
The meganuclease I-SceI has been effectively used to facilitate transgenesis in fish eggs for nearly a decade. I-SceI-mediated transgenesis is simply via embryo cytoplasmic microinjection and only involves plasmid vectors containing I-SceI recognition ...
