A Radical New System Shows a Way to Grow Chickens Without Eggshells

Article Description

Real-time visualisation of chick embryo development occurring inside an opaque eggshell is a major goal of developmental biology. This goal was partially achieved when 3-day-old embryos recovered from fertilised shelled eggs, preincubated in a conventional incubator, hatched after the egg contents had been transferred into shell-less embryo culture systems constructed of transparent plastic film placed in a plastic cup. However, the hatchable shell-less embryo culture systems described thus far cannot be used to visualise the dynamic morphological changes associated with the emergence of major organ systems during the first 3 days of embryo development, as the blastoderm area needs to be covered with an opaque membrane. Here, we present the development of a chick embryo culture system that enables omnidirectional real-time visualisation of the developing embryo, beginning from the newly laid blastoderm stage embryo until hatching.
