Atlas of Human Embryo Development - Advances With New Imaging Technologies

This atlas shows with unprecedented resolution the human embryo's development from fertilization to pre-implantation. Technology captures the changes driving embryogenesis, allowing Reproductive Medicine to move from fixed specimens to seeing fertilization and defects in 3D-advancing fertility treatment, disease prevention, and research.

List of contents

Preface. Imaging preimplantation embryos with cellular resolution. Fertilization and early cell cleavages. Embryo compaction and polarization. Lineage segregation. Blastocyst morphogenesis and hatching. Changes in cellular organization during preimplantation development. Identifying cellular features indicating compromised embryo development.
