Abstract
For the developmental biologist interested in the mammalian system, the pre-implantation embryo offers the unique opportunity of studying the mechanisms and cellular interactions involved in the transition of a single cell, the zygote, into a complex multicellular organism. The mouse has proved the most useful model for such studies because development of the preimplantation embryo in vitro appears to parallel development in vivo. During this period the embryo undergoes three cleavages from a zygote to an 8-cell embryo. The 8-cell embryo then undergoes a process of compaction, during which the cells become closely adherent and individual cell boundaries become indistinct. Two to three further cell divisions, junction formation, and the first cellular differentiation result in formation of the blastocyst, a fluid-filled sphere of cells bounded by an epithelial trophectoderm with the inner cell mass (destined to become the embryo proper) at one pole. It is the late blastocyst that begins to implant in the uterine wall.
