Concomitant Morphological Modifications of the Avian Eggshell, Eggshell Membranes and the Chorioallantoic Membrane During Embryonic Development

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The chicken eggshell (ES) consists of 95% calcium carbonate and 3.5% organic matter, and represents the first physical barrier to protect the developing embryo, while preventing water loss.

Laminin γ1 C-terminal Glu to Gln mutation induces early postimplantation lethality

Life Science Alliance, 2018
Mouse embryos with an ablated ability of integrins to bind laminins are still able to form basement membranes, but die just after implantation because of deficient extraembryonic development.

Periostin as a Biomarker of the Amniotic Membrane

Stem Cells International, 2012
Tracing the precise developmental origin of amnion and amnion-derived stem cells is still challenging and depends chiefly on analyzing powerful genetic model amniotes like mouse. Profound understanding of the fundamental differences in amnion development

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and bi- and multi-nucleated trophoblast cell formation in ovine conceptuses during the peri-implantation period

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is common in cancer metastasis, is also observed during developmental processes such as embryo implantation into the maternal endometrium in humans and rodents.

Lineage Differentiation Markers as a Proxy for Embryo Viability in Farm Ungulates

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Embryonic losses constitute a major burden for reproductive efficiency of farm animals. Pregnancy losses in ungulate species, which include cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, majorly occur during the second week of gestation, when the embryo experiences a ...

Embryonic Folding

MedEdPORTAL, 2007
Introduction Embryology is a challenging subject to learn because it involves three-dimensional structures within the embryo that are constantly changing as development proceeds. This animated module depicts embryonic folding, in which the flat embryonic

Vertical transmission of African-lineage Zika virus through the fetal membranes in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) model.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
Zika virus (ZIKV) can be transmitted vertically from mother to fetus during pregnancy, resulting in a range of outcomes including severe birth defects and fetal/infant death.

Male Embryos Produced in vitro Deviate From Their in vivo Counterparts in Placental Gene Expression on Day 32 of Pregnancy

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
This study compared the gene expression of extraembryonic membranes (EEM) from in vitro produced (IVP) and in vivo (AI) derived pregnancies. A piece of conceptus (day 18) or chorioallantois (day 32) was used for DNA and RNA isolation and sex ...

Embryology of the fetal membranes and placenta [PDF]

, 2019
The foetal membranes include all the extraembryonic structures which are derived from the primitive blastomeres and do not enter into the formation of the embryo itself.

Epiblast-specific Snai1 deletion results in embryonic lethality due to multiple vascular defects

BMC Research Notes, 2009
Background Members of the Snail gene family, which encode zinc finger proteins that function as transcriptional repressors, play essential roles during embryonic development in vertebrates.
