Abstract: "Here [investigators] use live and fixed imaging, micromanipulation approaches, and small molecule analyses during preimplantation mouse development to probe the mechanisms by which nucleus size is determined." |
| Comments |
P.2 top paragraph: "By examining embryos of each developmental stage [investigators] found that nucleus volume decreases ten-fold over the course of preimplantation development, from 8.24 ± 0.19 pL for the male pronucleus in 1-cell stage embryos, to 0.69 ± 0.02 pL for nuclei in blastocysts (Fig. 1B). Therefore, as expected, nucleus size progressively scales down during preimplantation development in mouse." |
