TY - JOUR. T1 - Reconstitution of hematopoiesis following transplantation into neonatal mice.. AU - Johnson, Scott A.. AU - Yoder, Mervin C.. PY - 2005. Y1 - 2005. N2 - The primary sites of hematopoiesis change during murine ontogeny. The first blood cells emerge in two waves in the yolk sac; primitive erythroblasts, megakaryocytes, and macrophages emerge on embryonic d (E) 7.0, whereas definitive progenitor cells appear as clusters within the yolk sac vasculature on E8.25. Of interest, yolk sac cells isolated prior to d 10.5 fail to engraft in myeloablated adult recipient mice and do not reconstitute hematopoiesis. We describe a method of sublethally myeloablating newborn mice in which E9.0 yolk sac cells engraft and repopulate all lineages of the hematopoietic system for up to 12 mo in primary recipients and up to 6 mo in secondary recipients. The exact mechanisms that permit yolk sac engraftment in the conditioned newborn mice remain elusive, but this method has been used by a number of ...

yolk sac development in lizards (Lacertilia: Scincidae): New perspectives on the egg of amniotes[4] Embryos of oviparous reptiles develop on the surface of a large mass of yolk, which they metabolize to become relatively large hatchlings. Access to the yolk is provided by tissues growing outward from the embryo to cover the surface of the yolk. A key feature of yolk sac development is a dedicated blood vascular system to communicate with the embryo. The best known model for yolk sac development and function of oviparous amniotes is based on numerous studies of birds, primarily domestic chickens. In this model, the vascular yolk sac forms the perimeter of the large yolk mass and is lined by a specialized epithelium, which takes up, processes and transports yolk nutrients to the yolk sac blood vessels. Studies of lizard yolk sac development, dating to more than 100 years ago, report characteristics inconsistent with this model. We compared development of the yolk sac from oviposition to near ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - The in vitro development of blastocyst-derived embryonic stem cell lines. T2 - Formation of visceral yolk sac, blood islands and myocardium. AU - Doetschman, T. C.. AU - Eistetter, H.. AU - Katz, M.. PY - 1985/1/1. Y1 - 1985/1/1. N2 - The in vitro developmental potential of mouse blastocyst-derived embryonic stem cell lines has been investigated. From 3 to 8 days of suspension cultured the cells form complex embryoid bodies with endoderm, basal lamina, mesoderm and ectoderm. Many are morphologically similar to embryos of the 6- to 8-day egg-cylinder stage. From 8 to 10 days of culture about half of the embryoid bodies expand into large cystic structures containing alphafoetoprotein and transferrin, thus being analogous to the visceral yolk sac of the postimplantation embryo. Approximately one third of the cystic embryoid bodies develop myocardium and when cultured in the presence of human cord serum, 30% develop blood islands, thereby exhibiting a high level of organized ...

The yolk sac is situated on the ventral aspect of the embryo and is one of the three embryonic cavities (chorion, amnion and yolk sac) that appear as of day 8 of human development. The definitive yolk sac structure consists of a double-layered extraembryonic membrane with hypoblast-derived endoderm on the inside and mesoderm on the outside. The combination of endoderm and mesoderm layers is called splanchnopleure and appears in both the yolk sac and allantois.. The endodermal tissue supplies functioning epithelial cells, while the mesoderm generates the essential blood supply to and from this epithelium. Additionally, the outer mesodermal layer of the yolk sac constitutes an important site of hematopoiesis in the developing embryo. The yolk sac cavity is filled with fluid called the vitelline fluid. In humans, the yolk sac normally disappears before birth (its residues are rarely found postnatally, as an anomaly called Meckels diverticulum). Nutients are absorbed from the yolk sac through a ...

Tissue factor (TF) triggers blood coagulation and is translated from two mRNA splice isoforms, encoding membrane-anchored full-length TF (flTF) and soluble alternatively-spliced TF (asTF). The complete knockout of TF in mice causes embryonic lethality associated with failure of the yolk sac vasculature. Although asTF plays roles in postnatal angiogenesis, it is unknown whether it activates coagulation sufficiently or makes previously unrecognized contributions to sustaining integrity of embryonic yolk sac vessels. Using gene knock-in into the mouse TF locus, homozygous asTF knock-in (asTFKI) mice, which express murine asTF in the absence of flTF, exhibited embryonic lethality between day 9.5 and 10.5. Day 9.5 homozygous asTFKI embryos expressed asTF protein, but no procoagulant activity was detectable in a plasma clotting assay. Although the α-smooth-muscle-actin positive mesodermal layer as well as blood islands developed similarly in day 8.5 wild-type or homozygous asTFKI embryos, ...

Vertebrate hematopoietic stem cells are derived from vental mesoderm, which is postulated to migrate to both extra- and intraembryonic positions during gastrula and neurula stages. Extraembryonic migration has previously been documented, but the origin and migration of intraembryonic hematopoietic cells have not been visualized. The zebrafish and most other teleosts do not form yolk sac blood islands during early embryogenesis, but instead hematopoiesis occurs solely in a dorsal location known as the intermediate cell mass (IM) or Oellacher. In this report, we have isolated cDNAs encoding zebrafish homologs of the hematopoietic transcription factors GATA-1 and GATA-2 and have used these markers to determine that the IM is formed from mesodermal cells in a posterior-lateral position on the yolk syncytial layer of the gastrula yolk sac. Surprisingly, cells of the IM then migrate anteriorly through most of the body length prior to the onset of active circulation and exit onto the yolk sac. These ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Yolk sac differentiation in germ cell tumors. A morphologic study of 50 cases with emphasis on hepatic, enteric, and parietal yok sac features. AU - Ulbright, T. M.. AU - Roth, L. M.. AU - Brodhecker, C. A.. PY - 1986/1/1. Y1 - 1986/1/1. N2 - We assessed 50 germ cell tumors with areas of yolk sac tumor (YST) for a variety of features including histologic patterns; hyaline droplets; syncytiotrophoblastic elements; hepatic, enteric, and parietal yolk sac differentiation; and granulomatous reaction. Of prime interest was the fact that many YSTs formed hepatic-like foci (22%), enteric-like glands (34%), and parietal yolk sac structures (92%). Hepatoid areas were characterized by nests and cords of polygonal, acidophilic cells with prominent nucleoli and intense cytoplasmic staining for alpha-fetoprotein. Enteric differentiation occurred as well-defined glands with a sharp, striated border and relatively bland nuclear features. Ultrastructurally these glands had apical microvilli with ...

Microglia are yolk sac-derived macrophages residing in the parenchyma of brain and spinal cord, where they interact with neurons and other glial. After different conditioning paradigms and bone marrow (BM) or hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, graft-derived cells seed the brain and persistently contribute to the parenchymal brain macrophage compartment. Here we establish that graft-derived macrophages acquire, over time, microglia characteristics, including ramified morphology, longevity, radio-resistance and clonal expansion. However, even after prolonged CNS residence, transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility landscapes of engrafted, BM-derived macrophages remain distinct from yolk sac-derived host microglia. Furthermore, engrafted BM-derived cells display discrete responses to peripheral endotoxin challenge, as compared to host microglia. In human HSC transplant recipients, engrafted cells also remain distinct from host microglia, extending our finding to clinical settings. ...

Hoxb4 overexpression promotes dramatic expansion of bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) without leukemic transformation and induces development of definitive HSCs from early embryonic yolk sac and differentiating embryonic stem cells. Knockout studies of Hoxb4 showed little effect on hematopoiesis, but interpretation of these results is obscured by the lack of direct evidence that Hoxb4 is expressed in HSCs and possible compensatory effects of other (Hox) genes. To evaluate accurately the pattern of Hoxb4 expression and to gain a better understanding of the physiologic role of Hoxb4 in the hemato-poietic system, we generated a knock-in Hoxb4-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) reporter mouse model. We show that BM Lin(-)Sca1(+)c-Kit(+) cells express Hoxb4-YFP and demonstrate functionally in the long-term repopulation assay that definitive HSCs express Hoxb4. Similarly, aorta-gonad-mesonephrous-derived CD45(+)CD144(+) cells, enriched for HSCs, express Hoxb4. Furthermore, yolk sac and placental

Supply of lipids from the mother is essential for fetal growth and development. In mice, disruption of yolk sac cell secretion of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins results in embryonic lethality. In humans, the yolk sac is vestigial. Nutritional functions are instead established very early during pregnancy in the placenta. To examine whether the human placenta produces lipoproteins, we examined apoB and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) mRNA expression in placental biopsies. ApoB and MTP are mandatory for assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins. Both genes were expressed in placenta and microsomal extracts from human placenta contained triglyceride transfer activity, indicating expression of bioactive MTP. To detect lipoprotein secretion, biopsies from term placentas were placed in medium with [(35)S]methionine and [(35)S]cysteine for 3-24 h. Upon sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation of the labeled medium, fractions were analyzed by ...

During development, the hematopoietic lineage transits through hemogenic endothelium, but the signaling pathways effecting this transition are incompletely characterized. Although the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is hypothesized to play a role in patterning blood formation, early embryonic lethality of mice lacking Hh signaling precludes such analysis. To determine a role for Hh signaling in patterning of hemogenic endothelium, we assessed the effect of altered Hh signaling in differentiating mouse ES cells, cultured mouse embryos, and developing zebrafish embryos. In differentiating mouse ES cells and mouse yolk sac cultures, addition of Indian Hh ligand increased hematopoietic progenitors, whereas chemical inhibition of Hh signaling reduced hematopoietic progenitors without affecting primitive streak mesoderm formation. In the setting of Hh inhibition, induction of either Notch signaling or overexpression of Stem cell leukemia (Scl)/T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 rescued hemogenic ...

Clone REA847 recognizes the mouse Ter-119 antigen, a glycophorin A-associated protein, also known as Ly-76. Ter-119 is expressed on mature erythrocytes and erythroid precursor cells in adult blood, spleen, and bone marrow, as well as in the embryonic yolk sac and fetal liver. REA847 does not react with cells showing typical erythroid blast-forming unit (BFU-E) and erythroid colony-forming unit (CFU-E) activity. In adult mice, REA847 reatcts with 20-25% of bone marrow cells and approximately 50% of spleen cells, but not with thymocytes or lymph node cells.Additional information: Clone REA847 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | Canada

In this study, the Gpr107 locus was disrupted by using a BAC-mediated gene targeting strategy. Gpr107 ablation had profound consequences for embryogenesis, resulting in a loss of viability between 11.5 and 12.5 days post-coitus. Transcript abundance profiling through sequencing identified selective defects in cubilin-megalin-related trafficking, which appeared to contribute to or account for the observed embryonic lethality. Cubilin gene expression was prominently diminished at E10.5, the start of the critical period for Gpr107 homozygote survival.. Previous data have shown that the multi-ligand endocytic receptors cubilin and megalin exert their roles in the visceral epithelial cells of the embryonic yolk sac, intestine, kidney and thyroid gland and participate in the transportation of vitamins B12 and D3, lipid-binding proteins, poorly water soluble hormones and their binding proteins, mineral-binding proteins and a variety of heterogeneous ligands (Kaseda et al., 2011; Kozyraki et al., 1999; ...

Angiogenesis is critically reliant on endothelial cell-specific transcriptional mechanisms. rules and indicate that histone chaperones could be new focuses on for angiogenesis therapy. between days 8.5 and 9.0 (6) because of a lack of organized vasculature. Because deletion of the VEGFR1 tyrosine kinase website is compatible with normal vascular development (8), it appears that VEGFR1 functions like a decoy receptor for VEGFA during embryogenesis. However, several lines of evidence also suggest that function of VEGFR1 during angiogenesis is not limited to its VEGF trapping mechanism. Activation of VEGFR1 by VEGF induces migration of endothelial cells lacking VEGFR2 (9). VEGFR1 loss is definitely associated with decreased vascular sprout formation and vascular branching (10). This phenotype was also observed manifestation are mainly unfamiliar. Our earlier studies with mouse yolk sac endothelial cells (YSECs) and human being umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) showed that transcription is ...

Childhood CNS germ cell tumors form in germ cells, which are cells that develop into sperm or ova (eggs). There are different types of childhood germ cell tumors. These include germinomas, embryonal yolk sac carcinomas, choriocarcinomas, and teratomas. A mixed germ cell tumor has two types of germ cell tumors in it. Germ cell tumors can be either benign or malignant.. Germ cell brain tumors usually form in the center of the brain, near the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a tiny organ in the brain that makes melatonin, which is a substance that helps control the sleeping and waking cycle. Germ cell tumors can spread to other parts of the brain and spinal cord.. ...

Hematopoietic development during embryogenesis involves the interaction of extrinsic signaling pathways coupled to an intrinsic cell fate that is regulated by cell-specific transcription factors. Retinoic acid (RA) has been linked to stem cell self-renewal in adults and also participates in yolk sac blood island formation. Here, we demonstrate that RA decreases gata1 expression and blocks primitive hematopoiesis in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos, while increasing expression of the vascular marker, fli1. Treatment with an inhibitor of RA biosynthesis or a retinoic acid receptor antagonist increases \(gata1^+\) erythroid progenitors in the posterior mesoderm of wild-type embryos and anemic \(cdx4^{−/−}\) mutants, indicating a link between the cdx-hox signaling pathway and RA. Overexpression of scl, a DNA binding protein necessary for hematopoietic development, rescues the block of hematopoiesis induced by RA. We show that these effects of RA and RA pathway inhibitors are conserved during ...

Abstract Macrophages are well characterized as immune cells. However, in recent years, a multitude of non-immune functions have emerged many of which play essential roles in a variety of developmental processes (Wynn et al., 2013; DeFalco et al., 2014). In adult animals, macrophages are derived from circulating monocytes originating in the bone marrow, but much of the tissue-resident population arise from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs) in the extra-embryonic yolk sac, appearing around the same time as primitive erythroblasts (Schulz et al., 2012; Kierdorf et al., 2013; McGrath et al., 2015; Gomez Perdiguero et al., 2015; Mass et al., 2016). Of particular interest to our group, macrophages have been shown to act as pro-angiogenic regulators during development (Wynn et al., 2013; DeFalco et al., 2014; Hsu et al., 2015), but there is still much to learn about these early cells. The goal of the present study was to isolate and expand progenitors of yolk-sac-derived Embryonic Macrophages (EMs) in ...

Question - Pregnancy ultrasound showing gestational sac with yolk sac, no embryo. Should I worry? Any problem with the baby?. Ask a Doctor about Yolk sac, Ask an OBGYN, Maternal and Fetal Medicine

Hematopoietic precursors have been obtained from hES cells by either co-culturing or by inducing them with growth factors. In the first study to isolate blood cell progenitors from hES cells, Kaufman et al. (Kaufman et al., 2001) cultured ES cells on marrow stromal or yolk sac-derived cell lines, and monitored the culture for the expression of blood cell lineage markers, such as CD34. The appearance of CD34+ cells peaked at 17 days, at a level of 1-2% of the total cells, and declined thereafter; these cells were also CD45- (a general marker for hematopoetic cells), but many were CD31+ (a marker of the endothelial lineage). These progenitors could form both erythroid and myeloid colonies in agar. The expression of adult and fetal hemoglobin, but not embryonic globin, was observed during erythroid differentiation.. Chadwick et al. (Chadwick et al., 2003) used a combination of embryoid body formation and treatment with various hematopoietic cytokines, plus BMP4, to induce the formation of ...

The explosion of new information in recent years on the origin of macrophages in the steady-state and in the context of inflammation has opened up numerous new avenues of investigation and possibilities for therapeutic intervention. In contrast to the classical model of macrophage development, it is clear that tissue-resident macrophages can develop from yolk sac-derived erythro-myeloid progenitors, fetal liver progenitors, and bone marrow-derived monocytes. Under both homeostatic conditions and in response to pathophysiological insult, the contribution of these distinct sources of macrophages varies significantly between tissues. Furthermore, while all of these populations of macrophages appear to be capable of adopting the polarized M1/M2 phenotypes, their respective contribution to inflammation, resolution of inflammation, and tissue repair remains poorly understood and is likely to be tissue- and disease-dependent. A better understanding of the ontology and polarization capacity of macrophages in

Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAND1 gene. A member of the HAND subclass of basic Helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, the Heart and neural crest-derived transcript-1 (HAND1) gene is vital for the development and differentiation of three distinct embryological lineages including the cardiac muscle cells of the heart, trophoblast of the placenta, and yolk sac vasculogenesis. Most highly related to twist-like bHLH genes in amino acid identity and embryonic expression, HAND1 can form homo- and heterodimer combinations with multiple bHLH partners, mediating transcriptional activity in the nucleus. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors. This gene product is one of two closely related family members, the HAND proteins are expressed within the developing ventricular chambers, cardiac neural crest, endocardium (HAND2 only) and epicardium (HAND2 only) . HAND1 ...

Vertebrate haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) ensure continuous haematopoietic cell production throughout life. HSCs can be defined by their dual ability to self-renew, thereby maintaining their numbers, and to differentiate into all lineages of the blood and immune system (Dykstra et al., 2007). Blood cells first appear in the mammalian conceptus, in the extraembryonic yolk sac, concomitant with the developing vasculature. These early haematopoietic progenitors are, however, of more limited potency than adult HSCs. In mice, HSCs that confer complete, long-term, multilineage haematopoietic repopulation of irradiated recipient mice first appear at embryonic day (E)10.5 in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region of the embryo body and the placenta, and they seed the fetal liver and the adult bone marrow. There is a rapid and permanent perinatal shift of the entire haematopoietic system to the bone marrow (Mikkola and Orkin, 2006; Dzierzak and Speck, 2008).. The decisions of HSCs to self-renew or ...

The heart begins as an endocardial tube that forms in front of the prochordal plate from bilateral angiogenic cell clusters located between the cardiogenic plate and the underlying yolk sac endoderm. The cardiogenic plate is a thickened layer of splanchnic mesoderm that will give rise to the epimyocardium. With the formation of the head fold and the expansion of the prosencephalon, the cardiogenic plate assumes a position ventral to the foregut. The angiogenic cell clusters become a pair of endothelial tubes in the splanchnic mesodermal layer and bulge into the pericardial part of the embryonic coelom. With formation of the lateral body folds, the paired endothelial tubes fuse in the midline producing a single endocardial tube ventral to the foregut ...

We have developed conditions for studying the binding, uptake, degradation and transport of 125I-labelled IgG by yolk sac in vitro. Specific binding to tissue at 4 degrees C and to paraformaldehyde-treated tissue at 37 degrees C was time- and temperature-dependent and showed saturation kinetics (Kd,4 degrees C = 2.9 × 10(-6) M, Kd,37 degrees C = 5.3 × 10(-6) M). Uptake was studied at 37 degrees C using untreated tissue (K uptake = 13.3 × 10(-6) M) and was inhibited by preincubation with metabolic poisons but not with cycloheximide. Tissue that had been incubated with 125I-labelled IgG at 37 degrees C released radiolabelled degradation products and intact 125I-labelled IgG into the medium. Experiments with paraformaldehyde-treated and untreated tissue showed that release of intact 125I-labelled IgG was mostly the result of ligand dissociation from surface binding sites. However, more 125I-labelled IgG was released from untreated tissue than could be accounted for solely by loss of ...

The role of the zebrafish transcription factor Nanog has been controversial. It has been suggested that Nanog is primarily required for the proper formation of the extraembryonic yolk syncytial layer (YSL) and only indirectly regulates gene expression in embryonic cells. In an alternative scenario, Nanog has been proposed to directly regulate transcription in embryonic cells during zygotic genome activation. To clarify the roles of Nanog, we performed a detailed analysis of zebrafish nanog mutants. While zygotic nanog mutants survive to adulthood, maternal-zygotic and maternal mutants exhibit developmental arrest at the blastula stage. In the absence of Nanog, YSL formation and epiboly are abnormal, embryonic tissue detaches from the yolk, and the expression of dozens of YSL and embryonic genes is reduced. Epiboly defects can be rescued by generating chimeric embryos of MZnanog embryonic tissue with wild-type vegetal tissue that includes the YSL and yolk cell. Notably, cells lacking Nanog ...

Surprisingly, hatching time did not change under any conditions. This suggests a degree of hard wired embryological development inside the egg. In the case of the hypoxic hatchlings, they came out almost done. While all three groups had remnants of a yolk sac upon hatching, the hypoxic hatchlings actually had the yolk sac still protruding (normal and hyperoxic hatchlings just showed distended bellies). In some cases, the yolk sac was larger around than the hind legs, thus making movement clumsy and cumbersome.. Other interesting results from this study, included notable changes to the cardiopulmonary system. Hypoxic hatchling lungs were actually smaller than the lungs of normal hatchlings; which appears counterintuitive. The heart, meanwhile, showed distinct hypertrophy in hypoxic animals. The authors believe that lack of lung growth in hatchlings may have been due to the fact that lung function does not start until after hatchlings have hatched.? The heart, on the other hand, is hard at ...

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers during this nerve wracking time. This morning we had our first ultrasound. The ultrasound tech was amazingly kind and understanding. She must have read my chart because she knew that I would be anxious. She started off by saying we wanted to see a gestation sac and yolk sac today and if we saw a fetal pole that would be extra. As soon as she put the ultrasound probe in she let me know that she saw a great looking yolk sac and a baby with a heartbeat! Baby measured on track for 5w6d and had a heart rate of 93. The Dr told me that the heart rate is on the low side of normal, but ok since we are so early. The babys heart only started beating recently and the SA node (electrical center that sets the rate of the heart) is still immature. In the first few days the fetal heart rate can be lower than what we would expect in a week. Here are some pictures ...

Things started out a bit on the scary-end of the scale for us as we went in for our 7 week viability appointment only to have the sonographer and perinatologist say the baby was measuring much smaller than it should. Instead of showing a yolk-sac size appropriate to the estimated date of conception - which is initially based off of the first day of the last menstrual cycle and then confirmed by ultrasound - the yolk-sac size was measuring closer to 5 weeks of gestation. Asking to repeat the test in one week, we went back in with hopes of getting better numbers… unfortunately still measuring small the doctors prepared us for the higher probability of a miscarriage… something, you can imagine, we were terrified to hear. Repeating the ultrasound again the following week as requested, the numbers were at least showing consistent growth from one week to the next so the doctors felt at least comfortable enough to grant us a due date two weeks later than initially expected: February 21. ...

Hemoglobin subunit epsilon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HBE1 gene. The epsilon globin gene (HBE) is normally expressed in the embryonic yolk sac: two epsilon chains together with two zeta chains (an alpha-like globin) constitute the embryonic hemoglobin Hb Gower I; two epsilon chains together with two alpha chains form the embryonic Hb Gower II. Both of these embryonic hemoglobins are normally supplanted by fetal, and later, adult hemoglobin.

The yolk sac is a pouch-like tissue in the early embryo that lies adjacent to the embryonic hypoblast portion of the developing inner cell mass. Its earliest stage during implantation in the mammal is derived from the blastocyst cavity and is termed the primary yolk sac. This is followed by the development of a secondary yolk sac, which develops within the primary yolk sac and displaces it; the secondary yolk sac is derived from the cells of the hypoblast. As development proceeds, the yolk sac is partially incorporated into the tissues of the intestines. Early in mammalian gestation and throughout gestation in other animals, the yolk sac serves as the reservoir for stored lipids, fats, and proteins, and it is also the site of early production of blood. Stem cells for both germ cells and hematopoietic cells reside within the yolk sac, close to the embryo, and migrate into the embryonic abdomen early in gestation. The yolk sac is resorbed into the embryo abdomen at varying times across species ...

Both groups showed the appearance of cavities corresponding to the amnion and primary yolk sac as known from studies in the rhesus macaque by Enders, Schlafke and Hendrickx. In the macaque, the yolk sac (at bottom in the figure) is outlined by visceral endoderm (beneath the epiblast) and the more squamous parietal endoderm. These tissues were identified by Shahbazi et al. in human embryos and shown to express the endoderm marker GATA6. Deglincerti et al. found the GATA6 signal was low in the parietal cells and that they expressed the trophectoderm marker CDX2. This is an interesting observation but hardly justifies them calling these cells yolk sac trophectoderm. The term was criticized by Janet Rossant in the accompanying News and Views (here) and it must be hoped it does not gain currency. ...

The yolk sac and the para-aortic splanchnopleura/aorta-genital ridges-mesonephros (P-Sp/AGM) region are the main sites of haematopoietic activity in the mouse embryo at the pre-liver stage of development. By day 11.5 of gestation, the AGM region is capable of autonomous initiation and expansion of definitive haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). By day 12.5, HSC activity in the AGM region is reduced whilst a second wave of HSCs begins to emerge in the yolk sac. We show here that HSCs emerging in both locations are marked by co-expression of the endothelial-specific marker VE-cadherin and the pan-leukocyte antigen CD45. Phenotypic characterisation using CD31, TIE2, FLK1, Ac-LDL receptors, and CD34 markers demonstrated significant similarities between this VE-cadherin+CD45+ ;double-positive population and endothelial cells suggesting a common origin for these cells. The double-positive fraction also expressed the stem cell markers Kit, Sca1 and AA4.1. Long-term transplantation experiments ...

Parthenogetically activated, diploid mouse oocytes can develop to midgestation stages in utero. However, even these advanced parthenogenones appear to die because of much reduced trophoblast and yolk sac development.

Antibodies prepared in a number of species of mammals, when injected into the uterine lumen of the rabbit, penetrate the yolk-sac splanchnopleur and are found in the foetal circulation. The concentrations achieved in the foetal serum vary according to the species of origin of the immune serum. The present work was undertaken further to investigate the mechanism of this selection, and to determine what part might be played by degradation of the injected protein. Normal bovine, and immune rabbit γ-globulins were trace labelled with 131I and injected into the uterine lumen of rabbits 24 days pregnant. It was found that rabbit agglutinin, and rabbit and bovine iodoglobulin, were present in the serum of foetuses thus exposed. The concentrations of both rabbit agglutinin and rabbit iodoglobulin in the foetal circulation, relative to those injected, were lower than is the case when natural antitoxin is used. The relative concentration of rabbit to bovine iodoglobulin in the foetal circulation is not ...

During early development, the various cell types of the hematopoietic system are formed at distinct anatomical niches within the embryo, in a spatially and temporally controlled manner, until this function is completely taken over by the bone marrow and thymus (for T-lymphoid cell generation) just prior to birth. A number of studies have now confirmed that the development of the hematopoietic system, in humans and other mammals, occurs in two phases: a primitive hematopoietic phase that gives rise to transitory, bi-potent HSCs, and a definitive hematopoietic phase that generates long-lived, multipotent HSCs [3].. Primitive hematopoiesis: The primitive phase of hematopoiesis starts very early, at around the third week of mammalian embryo development, in an extraembryonic tissue called the yolk sac. Within this yolk sac, mesodermal cells start forming cell aggregates at around day 16 of embryo development [4]. Soon after, the peripheral cells of the aggregate acquire endothelial characteristics, ...

Esteemed San-people, Are the eggs in the following story genitically modified? ANTIBODIES FROM EGG YOLKS ************************* Date: Fri, 13 Jun 1997 01:16:02 -0400 From: Robert A. LaBudde ,[email protected], Subject: Using Eggs to feed antibodies to livestock vs. antibiotics MODIFIED EGG YOLKS MAY PROVIDE ANTIBODIES TO LIVESTOCK June 9, 1997 FEEDSTUFFS MADISON, WIS. -- According to this story, small farms in Wisconsin may soon become antibody factories, raising laying hens that produce growth-stimulating antibodies in their egg yolks. When fed to farm animals, the customized yolks increase growth rates, and the animals become more efficient at converting feed to meat. Mark Cook, a poultry scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madisons College of Agricultural & Life Sciences, is cited as saying that egg yolk antibodies work by changing the environment in an animals gut, and that gut peptides control feed intake and gastrointestinal function in animals. The immune system stimulates the ...

A high salt environment inhibits certain spoiling bacteria, which allows other cultures to dominate. Its not that salt prevents anything from living in the yolks, its just that it slows the growth of some types of bacteria until the others can take over and release lactic acid. Its the lactic acid that actually preserves the food, and the salt just facilitated the whole thing. Good work lactobacillus!. The whole adventure starts with egg yolks nestled into tiny cradles of salt. Pour about 1/2 inch of salt into a nonreactive container, like a glass or stoneware baking dish. Use the back of a spoon to make little indentions for the egg yolks, and then carefully separate the eggs. Be sure that the yolk isnt punctured, or itll just run everywhere into the salt. Carefully set each yolk in its salt divot.. ...

After implantation, the embryonic portion of a mouse embryo consists of two monolayer sheets, the epiblast and the visceral endoderm, in a cup-shape structure. The embryos are radially symmetric, with the distal-proximal axis. Cell thickening occurs in the distal visceral endoderm (DVE) at E5.5. The DVE cells express a unique set of genes (AVE genes) encoding transcriptional factors such as Otx2 and Hhex, and signaling antagonists such as Dkk1, Cerl and Lefty1. The expression of AVE genes shifts to the anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) by E6.0, and then the anterior-posterior axis is formed. The shift of the AVE gene expression from DVE to AVE is not due to a change in the cells that express these genes, but due to the movement of the DVE cells. However, it is only DVE cells or part of the visceral endoderm cells that have been analyzed in previous studies. It has remained unclear how other visceral endoderm cells respond to or influence DVE cell movement. Here we have analyzed the behavior of ...

Females lay about 45 eggs in a cave guarded by the male. The eggs hatch after 8 days. The young absorb the yolk sac in about 18 days. After this time the young usually stay in the cave and venture a bit at night, they are not kicked out by the male but he does not provide any protection as the male goes out to search for food and let the young unguard, they will benefit from the protection when he comes back. The male does not disallow the young to go in or out as he does when they are still absorbing the yolk sac ...

Calling the Yolk sac the egg yolk. Seriously! They are not the Same thing. You cant fry it up and eat it. Its not the same thing! Lol rant over, it just drives me crazy seeing people constantly saying it.

The ER told me there was no cyst, my uterus is filled with fluid from a subchorionic hemorrhage, and that there was a gestational sac (step 1), a yolk sac (step 2), and fetal pole (3) with no cardiac activity (4th step) and most likely the baby was dead. Heres the thing about being pregnant 15 times and being a professional patient of sorts: I knew that some, if not all, of that is incorrect. At the ER they know a little bit about a lot of things but I know at 4 weeks and 5 days along there most certainly is NOT a heartbeat and that is EXPECTED & normal ...

Fav Doc wasnt available for the scan and a different doc did it. We have met him before, but the change of plan gave me a bad vibe. In any case this Doc couldt get the tv screen to work, so I practically saw nothing at all. As the wand went in, we could see things were bigger, I could see the flicker on the monitor. But when we heard it I had no doubt it was slow. I guessed that if it was 120bpm it would have been doing well. It was 115. The Doc didnt seem to concerned. Started taking measurements and pics which I didnt see if not for a fraction of a second on the screen when he was saving them on my folder. I mentioned the spotting and he checked around the gestational sac, where there may be a very small SCH, nothing to be worried about. Doc said to get dressed and we go over the pics and stats. As I got dressed I said to Mike, this doesnt look good. Basically the baby measured 6w5d (so 5 days behind) and of course I know it was a different person taking the measurement, also the yolk sac ...

Edited to Add from the midwife:. I opened the sac so that she would be ready to take her first breath. I could have done it after she was out of the water but since they take that first breath as soon as they come to the surface into the air, I didnt want to delay that breath by opening the sac after she was out of the water. I also didnt want the bag to collapse against her face which could make it harder for me to grasp and open (especially with gloves on). I felt it would be better and easier to do before she was lifted up to you so that we werent fumbling with the sac at the same time you were receiving her.. I could have waited until her entire body was out of you and she was still under water, but that would have slightly delayed bringing her to the surface, which I dont like to do. Water birth is great for many reasons but babies are meant to breath immediately after birth-its best not to delay that. ...
