mortality/aging
• die between E12.5 and E14
|
nervous system
• branching vascular networks of the head and trunk are improperly organized
• large cranial vessels are dilated
• branching of cranial vessels is reduced
|
• the facial nerve consistently shows abnormal "sprouting" or "branching" in 10.5 dpc embryos
|
• the acoustic nerve consistently shows abnormal "sprouting" or "branching" in 10.5 dpc embryos
|
cardiovascular system
• less elaborate vessel extensions between the somites in the trunk
|
• decreased secondary and tertiary branching off of the internal carotid artery at E10.5
• larger dilated internal carotid arteries than in controls
|
• branching vascular networks of the head and trunk are improperly organized
• large cranial vessels are dilated
• branching of cranial vessels is reduced
|
• endothelial cells of cranial vessels tend to accumulate at branch points
