Gastrulation is the process by which the blastocyst is transformed into a gastrula, which has different germ layers (in most organisms the gastrula has three germ layers — the mesoderm ...

vannamei. Early development stages: zygote (zygo), 2 cells (C2), 4 cells (C4), 32 cells (C32), blastula (blast), gastrula (gast), limb bud embryo I (Lbe1), limb bud embryo II (Lbe2), larva in membrane ...

This valuable study reports on the critical role of ANKRD5 (ANKEF1) in sperm motility and male fertility. However, the supporting data remain incomplete. This work will be of interest to biomedical ...

Embryos were fixed for 30 min at room temperature with 4% paraformaldehyde in MOPS buffer (0.1 M 3-(N-morpholino) propane sulfonic acid), adjusted to a pH value of 7.5, and washed in PBT two times.

The results from this study, which investigates the mechanisms necessary for initiating tissue invagination using a cellular Potts modelling approach, suggest that apical constriction is not ...
