Abstract excerpt
Giant trophectodermal (TE) vesicles, produced by aggregating multiple embryos, were evaluated as a means of enhancing the viability of reconstituted murine blastocysts. Previous studies have indicated that the development of chimeric conceptuses produced by multiple embryo aggregation is impaired, thus the initial objective here was to examine how this is affected by 1) differences in developmental rates of...
