The article discusses the result of a study regarding the significant aspects of embryonic stem cell culture medium (ESCM) in vitro embryo development of preimplantation embryos. The study assesses the impact of ESCM on pre- and post-implantation development of the mouse embryo in comparison...
- Preimplantation embryos and their stem cells still attract attention. // Reproductive BioMedicine Online (Reproductive Healthcare Limited;Dec2006, Vol. 13 Issue 6, p904
The article reports on the results of a study on the preimplantation development of embryonic stem cells. It has been found that the growth stages of oocytes from their sojourn in primordial follicles establish the nature of events during oocyte maturation and fertilization. The authors...
