Chemicals were then used to coax these stem cells into becoming four types of cell found in the earliest stages of the human embryo: epiblast cells, which become the embryo proper (or foetus ...
Many four-legged animals go through embryonic stages that have similar features -- gill arches, a notochord, segmentation, and paddle-like limb buds -- as they develop into different adults.
There are many other reasons why Finn's ZINC protocol should cover all developmental stages of zebrafish. Embryos turn into larvae, which turn into juveniles, etc. If the ZINC already has an IACUC ...
Now - the clever bit. The cells on the inside layer of this very early embryo can make all of the cell types needed in your body. They're called stem cells. The stem cells continue to divide by ...
