Evidence that human blastomere cleavage is under unique cell cycle control

PURPOSE: To understand the molecular pathways that control early human embryo development. METHODS: Improved methods of linear amplification of mRNAs and whole human genome microarray analyses were utilized to characterize gene expression in normal appearing 8-Cell human embryos, in comparison with published micro-arrays of human fibroblasts and pluripotent stem cells. RESULTS: Many genes involved in…

"Bedford Research made it so easy"

Bedford Research Foundation made it so easy to get tested. I made an appointment online and immediately got a confirmation email. I followed the instructions in the email the day my test was scheduled. I showed up at the location at my scheduled time and didn’t have to wait at all. The test was quick and painless. I was notified of my negative results by mail within a few days. They even supplied me with a quick reference sheet so I could be reimbursed by my insurance company.

I logged on to my insurance companies website to file a claim. With the paperwork supplied and my email receipt the insurance company reimbursed me within a few weeks. The test ended up costing me nothing and my results were much faster than the big national labs.
