Most Day 3 embryos will be comprised of 6-10 cells called blastomeres. Embryos with too few blastomeres may not be healthy, so we prefer at least 7-8 at this stage. Embryos with fewer cells may not be healthy growing very slowly or may have stopped growing entirely commonly called “cell...
In the first few divisions of preimplantation development, the cells (blastomeres) retain this totipotency, but shortly before implantation, at the blastocyst stage, cells become committed to certain tissues of the later conceptus. Three cell types are clearly distinguishable at this stage: the ...
(called blastomeres), formed during the first cell divisions in a fertilized embryo, were all capable of dividing a few more times in a Petri dish. Subsequently, colleague John Paul in Glasgow, together with Edwards, tried to culture rabbit blastocyst cells, stored them by freezing, and ...
To evaluate the impact of embryo quality and quantity, specifically a poor quality embryo (PQE) in combination with a good quality embryo (GQE), by double embryo transfer (DET) on the live birth rate (LBR) and neonatal outcomes in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles...
Cleaved embryos with 7–10 equal or slightly unequal blastomeres and ≤15% fragments were considered as grade I. When the percentage of fragments was 16%–29% or the number of blastomeres did not meet the grade I standard, the embryos were considered as grade II. When the percentage of ...

The term 'mosaic' is used here to refer to the presence of multiple aneuploidies within a single blas- tomere rather than mosaicism between blastomeres. Individual parameter analysis revealed that although low mosaic embryos had cell cycles more similar to embryos with normal karyotypes, high ...
A 3 colour DNA FISH labelling was performed in single blastomeres obtained at the 8-cell stage embryos with probe set specifically for chromosomes 18, X, and Y. All 8-cell embryos were biopsied and only blastocysts with XX complement were transferred. The mechanical impact of the biopsy did ...
Discovery of endogenous 8-cell-like cells among naive human pluripotent stem cells While mouse 2CLCs have been discovered more than a decade ago, an equivalent cell state has only been discovered in humans recently 12••, 13••, 14••. With the advent of single-cell sequencing ...
