Effect of Different Volume of Microdrop Culture on B6D2F1 Mice Oogenesis
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2016 This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different volume (100 μl vs. 2 ml) of microdrop culture on B6D2F1 mice oogenesis. In the present study, B6D2F1/CrljOri F1 mice were utilized in order to maximize oogenesis.

TEAD4 Regulates apical domain homeostasis and cell-positioning to maintain the trophectoderm lineage during mouse blastocyst developmentTEAD4 Regulates apical domain homeostasis and cell-positioning to maintain the trophectoderm lineage during mouse blastocyst development [PDF]
Open BiologyIn mammalian preimplantation embryos, distinct cell lineages occupy defined spatial niches. The outer trophectoderm (TE) forms an epithelial monolayer surrounding the inner cell mass (ICM) and blastocyst cavity. In mice, the Tead4 gene encodes a polarity-

The asymmetric expression of HSPA2 in blastomeres governs the first embryonic cell-fate decision
eLifeThe first cell-fate decision is the process by which cells of an embryo take on distinct lineage identities for the first time, thus representing the beginning of developmental patterning.
