A new experimental model of overgrowth and consecutive exencephaly
Abstract:
By intraamniotic injection of a.d. diluted rat or rabbit blood plasma in 3-day chick embryos overgrowth and consecutive cranioschisis and exencephaly may be induced. Control experiments exclude colloid-osmotic mechanism. Morphological changes suggest an early general disturbance of brain wall morphogenesis and differentiation.
