Apoptosis in the preimplantation mouse embryo: Effect of strain difference and in vitro culture
29 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Cell death by apoptosis occurs predominantly in the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst, the cell population which carries the germ line and gives rise to the foetus. The frequency of apoptosis in blastocysts varies widely within outbred species such as human and cow. We have addressed the basis of this variation by examining the relative influence of strain difference and in vitro culture conditions on...
