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.

Neural tube opening and abnormal extraembryonic membrane development in SEC23A deficient mice [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractCOPII (coat protein complex-II) vesicles transport proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi. Higher eukaryotes have two or more paralogs of most COPII components. Here we characterize mice deficient for SEC23A and studied interactions of Sec23a null allele with the previously reported Sec23b null allele. SEC23A deficiency leads

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 ...

Integrin-Dependent Apposition of Drosophila Extraembryonic Membranes Promotes Morphogenesis and Prevents Anoikis [PDF]

Current Biology, 2004
Two extraembryonic tissues form early in Drosophila development. One, the amnioserosa, has been implicated in the morphogenetic processes of germ band retraction and dorsal closure. The developmental role of the other, the yolk sac, is obscure.By using live-imaging techniques, we report intimate interactions between the amnioserosa and the yolk sac ...

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

Isolation of Oct4-expressing extraembryonic endoderm precursor cell lines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The extraembryonic endoderm (ExEn) defines the yolk sac, a set of membranes that provide essential support for mammalian embryos. Recent findings suggest that the committed ExEn precursor is present already in the embryonic Inner Cell Mass ...

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 ...

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.

Microarray Analysis of Gene Expression in the Uterine Endometrium during the Implantation Period in Pigs [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012
During embryo implantation in pigs, the uterine endometrium undergoes dramatic morphological and functional changes accompanied with dynamic gene expression.
