2022-01-11
Abstract excerpt
The shaping of the human embryo begins with compaction, during which cells come into close contact and form a tighter structure 1,2 . Assisted reproductive technology (ART) studies suggest that human embryos fail compaction primarily because of defective adhesion 3,4 . Based on our current understanding of animal morphogenesis 5,6 , other morphogenetic engines, such as cell contractility, could be involved in s...
