Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) active during human preimplantation development? SUMMARY ANSWER: Mitotic spindle disruption during mitosis activates the SAC from at least Day 3 of human preimplantation development, but this does not lead to apoptosis until Day 5.
