The size of preimplantation mouse embryos was experimentally manipulated in order to examine the consequences for the allocation of cells to the two primary tissues, trophectoderm and inner cell mass (ICM). Half embryos were produced by the mechanical lysis of one cell at the two-cell stage and quad

## Abstract Animals use diverse strategies to specify tissue lineages during development. A common strategy is to partition maternally supplied and localized lineage determinants into progenitor cells. The mouse embryo appears to use a different, more regulative strategy to specify the first three
Background: Parthenogenetic and androgenetic embryos fail to develop to term, possibly because of genomic imprinting, an epigenetic alteration of certain genes, depending on the parent of origin. The effect of this phenomenon has been studied mainly in mid-gestation embryos, without morphological ab
Low viability of manipulated or in vitro cultured embryos is caused primarily by the reduced cell number in the implanting blastocysts. In order to investigate the effect of implantation delay on embryo viability and cell number, mouse blastocysts were transferred into oviducts of day 0 pseudopregna
## Abstract When early blastocysts are subjected to immunosurgery, the resulting inner cell masses (ICMs) regenerate trophoblast cells. In contrast, ICMs from later blastocysts produce endoderm cells. We have found that if embryos are treated with cycloheximide during the transition from the early
