	Blastula \| World of Biology
		A blastula is an early embryo that has been formed by cleavage, or subdivision, of a fertilized egg.
		Instead of a blastula, a thin layer of cells forms on the surface of the yolk known as the blastoderm.
		Blastula cells are not considered to have undergone differentiation.

		Blastulae are probably representative of the sort of colonies animals evolved from; similar forms occur among other flagellates, e.g.
		The outer layer (ectoderm) corresponds to the surface of the blastula and the inner layer (endoderm) is formed by cells that migrate into the interior.
		The blastula invaginates without filling in first, so the endoderm is simply its inner lining, and the interior then fills in to become a third layer (mesoderm) between the others.

	Blastula Summary
		It is produced by cleavage of a fertilized ovum and consists of a spherical layer of around 128 cells surrounding a central fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel.
		The blastula follows the morula and precedes the gastrula in the developmental sequence.
		A whitefish blastula is often used to help study the processes of mitosis in animal cells.

	The evolution of embryological development
		A blastula still forms after the cleavage of the egg, but the second layer of cells is formed by the inward migration of cells, usually from all parts of the surface of the sphere.
		The gradients in the blastula are oriented around the mouth, and once the inner gut cells have migrated inward, formed a solid core, and made contact with the ectoderm, the split forming in their midst could be made to open up toward the mouth's location on the blastula by the gradients in the ectoderm.
		After gastrulation is complete and the anus is formed, one cell on each side of the blastopore migrates into the area between the ectoderm and endoderm, multiplies into a solid mass of cells, and a mesodermal coelom is formed by a split that starts in their midst.

	HE6
		This boundary is perpendicular to the animal-vegetal axis and thus is parallel to the horizontal planes that separate blastomere tiers during early cleavage.
		Immunolocalization of HE6 protein in prehatching blastulae embryos raised in the presence of Zn could not be distinguished from that of the control embryos.
		Immunolocalization of HE6 protein in prehatching blastulae of embryos raised in the presence of Li shows that the size of the territory in which protein is detected is dramatically reduced.

		Blastula: The cells of morula arrange themselves so as to enclose a cavity (blastocoel) surrounded by a layer of cells.
		Gastrula: Further rearrangement of cells converts the blastula into a three-layered structure with a new cavity (archenteron) and is called gastrula.
		Blastula encloses blastocoel surrounded by a layer of cells whereas gastrula encloses archenteron surrounded by 3 germlayers

		Whole mount immunocytochemistry indicated that the distribution of the protein is relatively uniform at four- to eight cell and mesenchyme blastula stage embryos throughout all cells, except for newly ingressed primary mesenchyme cells which stain less intensely than cells of the epithelium.

	The Story Behind "Blastula"
		“Blastula” seemed to be an appropriate name as it is something we’ve all had.
		A blastula or blastosphere is a spherical protective covering that forms over fetuses while in the zygotic stage.
		In a sense it is a sphere that enabled each of us to pass through time, space, and (perhaps) dimensions.

	Principles of Developmental Biology
		During cleavage, tight junctions form [fig 4.10] and ions are pumped inside the embryo, raising osmotic pressure and causing the blastocoel to form.
		While the fate maps show that regions of the late blastula can be predicted to follow a particular fate during normal development, those regions may not yet be committed to that exact fate if developed in isolation.
		A third type of map, called a competence map, that describes the developmental potential of different regions of the blastula when developed in different developmental contexts via transplantation experiments can also be constructed.

		ERK activity is required first between the prehatching blastula stage and the swimming blastula stage for ingression of the PMCs (green), and then during gastrulation for differentiation of the PMCs into spicules (yellow).
		At the blastula stage, activation of the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway by an unknown factor Y, allows phosphorylation of Ets1, which is crucially required for the maintenance of alx1 and Delta expression in the micromeres, and for the initiation of skeT/Tbr and other downstream genes in this lineage.
