C. elegans Dissection blastomere: Une méthode pour enlever la coquille d’œuf et dissocier les cellules embryonnaires

Published: April 30, 2023

Abstract

Source : Hsu, C. R., et autres. Reconstitution in vitro des modèles de contact cellulaire spatial avec des blastomères embryonnaires isolés de Caenorhabditis elegans et des perles de polystyrène adhésif. J. Vis. Exp. (2019). 

Cette vidéo introduit une méthode d’isolement des blastomères C. elegans à partir d’embryons précoces.  Les cellules qui en résultent conviennent à la culture cellulaire ou à des expériences ex vivo.
