mortality/aging
• embryos die due to extensive apoptosis during early gestation, failing to survive beyond E8.5
• at E6.5, embryos either have developed abnormally or are resorbed

cellular
• extensive apoptosis in embryos at E8.5

embryo
• extensive apoptosis in embryos at E8.5

• E3.5 blastocysts cultured in vitro fail to exhibit robust proliferation and become atrophic by the equivalent of E6.5
