Fruit Fly Protein Is Clue to Embryo Growth...
Scientists may be one step closer to unravelling the complex path of the human embryo's development form the joining of sperm and egg to birth, thanks to a team of researchers at Boston Children's Hospital...
Wandering through the Embryo: Cell Migration in Early Development--by Rachel Fink, Virginia Apgar Assistant Professor, Mount Holyoke College. Reception to follow in room 154 of Biological Laboratories at 5 p.m. Biological Laboratories, Main Lecture Hall...
Even more provocative is a new area of research that combines the techniques of in vitro fertilization with the latest advances in genetic screening. Abnormalities like sickle-cell anemia or cystic fibrosis are present in the genetic code from the moment of conception. Since embryos in their earliest stages are fairly forgiving -- they can lose a cell or two without impairing their subsequent development -- it is theoretically possible to remove a cell from, say, a 16-cell embryo, test it for a suspected defect, and get the answer before that embryo is inserted into the uterus for implantation...
