To investigate the spatio-temporal expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) during murine neurulation and explore the role of HIF-1 in the embryonic development of the nervous system.
Purpose: 1 To investigate the role of TGF-β1 in in vitro culture of mouse embryo and embryo implantation by comparing the development status and implantation rate after blastocyste transfer between embryos cultured in M16 and M16 containing different level of TGF-β1.
