inner cell mass

This is because the inner cell mass has not been affected by external factors.

The inner cell mass can be used for stem cell research.

The epiblast layer is derived from the inner cell mass.

The hypoblast is a tissue type that forms from the inner cell mass.

It is responsible for moving cells toward the inner cell mass in developing blastocysts.

It is in just those few cells in the inner cell mass that we have our origins.

This will lead to one inner cell mass and one blastocyst.

"You extract cells from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.

The following day, she removed the inner cell mass from the late blastocyst using microsurgery.

Inside is a clump of about 30 cells, the inner cell mass, from which the embryo develops.

Inside the sphere is a blob known as the inner cell mass which contains the stem cells.

Cdx2 expression begins at 3.5 days and is confined to the trophectoderm, being absent from the inner cell mass.

The inner cell mass, the source of embryonic stem cells, becomes pluripotent.

Dr. Thomson said it was "not clear if they have properties identical to the inner cell mass."

The inner cell mass of the blastocyst divides rapidly, forming two layers.

The inner cell mass initially has two layers: the hypoblast and epiblast.

It can be used to obtain large quantities of pure inner cell masses in a relatively short period of time.

The rest of the trophoblasts, surrounding the inner cell mass, are hereafter called cytotrophoblasts.

The cells of the inner cell mass are called "totipotent," meaning that each can form any tissue of the body.

These genetic aberrations further emphasized the need to be able to culture pluripotent cells directly from the inner cell mass.

The resulting inner cell mass cells are plated onto cells that will supply support.

The cells of the inner cell mass go on to form virtually all of the tissues of the human body.

Rather, the inner cell mass rotates inside the trophoblast to align to the apposition.

When removed and grown in the lab, cells from the inner cell mass are called embryonic stem cells.

He also said the available lines might differ in their developmental potential, depending on where in the blastocyst's inner cell mass they were from.
