mortality/aging
• embryos start dying at E9.5, with no surviving embryos recovered beyond E11
|
growth/size/body
• at E9.5, the heart is similar in size compared to wild-type embryos despite the rest of the embryo being much smaller
|
• embryos at E9.0 are significantly smaller
|
cardiovascular system
• the cephalic plexus fails to remodel into a hierarchical branched network
|
• missing in some embryos, and if present are poorly defined with incomplete remodeling
|
• at E9.5, the heart is similar in size compared to wild-type embryos despite the rest of the embryo being much smaller
|
embryo
• embryos fail to develop past the E9.0 stage based on forelimb development and somite number
|
• embryos at E9.0 are significantly smaller
|
• at E9.0, there are no visible blood-filled vessels and the surface appears dimpled
• at E9.5, the endoderm is pulling away from the mesoderm due to the presence of hyperfused blood vessels
|
• at E9.5, the primitive vascular plexus merges together to form hyperfused vessels
|
cellular
• the cephalic plexus fails to remodel into a hierarchical branched network
