Abstract excerpt
The author studied the difference between immunosurgical and microsurgical isolation of inner cell masses (ICMs) from fully expanding blastocysts. The stage after which no further cell exchange between ICM and trophoblast can take place may involve the closure of certain gene pathways. The process of the aggregation of ICMs and eight-cell embryos with different genetic backgrounds was also studied. The results...
