Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin mediates the compaction process of mouse preimplantation embryos and is important for the maintenance and function of epithelial cell layers. To determine precisely the role of E-cadherin in epithelial biogenesis we monitored the developmental potential of embryos homozygously negative for E-cadherin that were derived from E-cadherin heterozygous transgenic mice. The...
