Medium from mouse mammary tumor cell cultures con tained a growth-stimulating factor. The assay for growthstimulating factor was performed on density-inhibited cul tures of mouse embryo cells. Addition of nondialyzed or dialyzed mouse mammary tumor cell culture medium caused an increase in DNA synthesis and mitosis in densityinhibited cells. Dialyzed medium was more active than non dialyzed med...

Background: The aim of the present study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) collagen gel culture system for the in vitro growth and survival of buffalo preantral follicles with or without growth factors. Materials and Methods: Buffalo ovaries were collected from a local abattoir and preantral follicles were isolated through microdissection. Isolated preantral follicles were put either in c...

sugar beetis an essentially self-sterile plant for which the vegetative propagation is used to obtain identical sister plants. sugar beet micropropagation is initiated by meristematic cuttings. sugar beet meristematic flower stalk explants were established in sterile cultures and used for shoot propagation. two pgob medium with different hormonal combinations: 1) ba/naa/iba at 1, 0.1 and 0.1 an...

this study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. one-cell mouse embryos were obtained from nmrimice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 iu equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg)followed 48 hrs later by 5 iu human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg). mouse embryonic fibrobla...
