Often, genotyping of mouse embryos is required, and a small part, such as the yolk sac, can be used for this purpose. Here, DNA samples are prepared from extra-embryonic tissues by digestion with Proteinase K and subsequent extraction. The yolk sac of mid-gestation or later-stage embryos provides a sufficient amount of DNA for Southern analysis. Small tissues of a few hundred cells are used for genotyping early postimplantation- and preimplantation-stage embryos by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Abamectin is an insecticide, miticide and nematicide that has been extensively used in agriculture for many years. The excessive use of abamectin inevitably pollutes water and soil and might even cause adverse effects on aquatic biota. However, it is currently unclear how abamectin exposure causes neurotoxicity in aquatic organisms.

Gastrulation marks a pivotal stage in mammalian embryonic development, establishing the three germ layers and body axis through lineage diversification and morphogenetic movements. However, studying human gastrulating embryos is challenging due to limited access to early tissues. Here we show the use of spatial transcriptomics to analyse a fully intact Carnegie stage 7 human embryo at single-cell resolution, along with immunofluorescence validations in a second embryo.

Background And Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of in ovo formula product injection on hatching parameters, chick quality, small intestinal development and ileum histology of breeder hen eggs.
Methods: A total of 400 fertilised eggs were obtained from the Atak-S parent flock at 42 weeks of age for the experiment. The experiment was designed in two groups: a control group (C), in which no injection was performed, and the other group in which a solution containing formula products at concentrations of 1.

This study aimed to determine the effects of the dietary Spirulina platensis supplementation and egg storage period on egg quality traits, blastoderm characteristics and hatching results of Mast geese. For this purpose, the control group was fed the standard enterprise diet, while the experimental group received the same diet supplemented with 0.5% S.

Pediatric germ cell tumors represent a rare but biologically diverse group of neoplasms arising from pluripotent primordial germ cells. The 2022 edition of the WHO Classification of Pediatric Tumors introduced the first organ independent classification of germ cell tumors, reflecting advances in molecular biology, histopathology, and clinical practice. This review highlights the key changes, including the refined distinctions between the different subtypes.
