thread_title: Did you know nomination

message: We plan to introduce the blastocyst within the context of the embryo development timeline before describing its structure. Alongside its development cycle and structure, we will also include subheadings on its role with in-vitro fertilization procedures and its inclusion in Klimt artwork. We plan to include more microscopic images and depictions of the blastocyst throughout the article. In-line citations will also be added to current write-ups of the page.

message: I am considering developing this page further as part of an educational assignment in Fall of 
2013. If someone else is also working on this, please send me a message and let me know 
soon, so we donʼt duplicate initial efforts in page development.NJSfour (talk) 15:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Project Intent 

message: Comments on our edits to the page.
*11/4/2013:
**We cleaned up the introduction, providing a more detailed and understandable background for where the blastocyst stage occurs in embryogenesis.
**We also made the "Development cycle" section more concise and added comments on the precursor and post-blastocyst stages in development.
**Following "Development cycle," we also cleaned up the "Structure" section which describes the embryoblast, trophoblast, and blastocoel to make these entities more understandable.
**We added a section on "Cell specification" which gives further insight as to how the blastocyst forms its specific structure (outlined in the section preceding "Cell specification"). Molecular and cellular mechanisms are both explored in this section.
**A section on "Clinical implications" was added, discussing in vitro fertilization.
**As enlightened students of the liberal arts, we also added a section noting the representation of "Blastocysts in Art" by Gustav Klimt.

thread_title:  Image queue (per guidelines) 

message: The article title is blastocyst but the text throughout refers to blastocyte. Can someone explain / correct? Is blastocyte simply a variant term? It would be nice if the Embryogenesis article and this one matched up.  - Paul (talk) 18:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: from wiktionary:  blastocyte- An undifferentiated cell in the blastula stage of an embryo. I've never heard about this term being used to describe blastocyst. Typo, probably. I'll change it. ~~leaf  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.163.254.157 (talk) 01:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  blastocyst/blastocyte 

message: This paragraph seemed irrelevant to a basic explanation of what a blastocyst is, so I deleted it.  That kind of material probably belongs in a larger and more detailed article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strawbaby (talk • contribs) 15:15, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed the section about differential gene expression 

message: The introduction section is interesting, but the detail might be a bit technical. Any way to make it into an easier-to-understand overview? I suggest you put in a sentence or two stating the difference between a blastocyst and a blastula. I know the very top of the article says that blastula is non-species specific version, but maybe mention if there are any characteristics that make the human blastocyst different. 
It would help to have clarification in one place of the article stating at what point in during cleavage it is considered a blastocyst (number of cells), and how long it is considered a blastocyst. At what point/event is the embryo not considered a blastocyst and called something else?
One technical suggestion I have is that the article should be cited a lot more – many sentences and even sections lack citations, which should be fixed as soon as possible.
Lastly, I suggest inserting a brief history section (or even just a mention) regarding who discovered and described the blastocyst and when? The blastocyst in art section made me think of that, because it sounded like Klimt and Zuckerkandl’s knowledge of the blastocyst may have been ahead of their time. Was it?
Great work on the article so far! Good luck with your ongoing edits. Quigend (talk) 22:21, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer review suggestions 

message: This structure, layout, and pictures of this article are all awesome. In the “Development Cycle” subsection, you use the term “cavitation” but there is no further description or link as to what this in. In the same section, the last sentence has a capitalized “gastrulation,” but I think that this should be lowercase. In the “Structure” subsection, you repeat that there are 2 types of blastomeres cells. Perhaps you should leave that information here and remove it from the “Development Cycle” section. Under the “Cell Specification” part, you again mention 3 terms that have no further explanation - trophoectorderm, epiblast and primitive endoderm. Clarification on these terms might be useful, as well as a citation here. My last comment deals with the “Clinical Implications” section. The first paragraph might benefit from a citation. There is also one sentence here that says “…guided through the service via ultrasound,” but I’m not sure if “service” is the right word. Otherwise, great article!

thread_title:  Size? 

message: Anon, I think it's debatable that that figure shows the ICM and the endometrium interaction. It's simply a diagram of what the blastocyst looks like as it implants. It has no cell-cell contacts between the ICM and the endometrium, it has no lines drawn between them, etc. I don't think that can really count as interaction.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 14:54, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Overall, the content of this article is very informative and unbiased towards any viewpoint. 
I think that the first paragraph under the "In vitro Hybridization" heading should have more sources added to it. It sounds as if the information came from another article or source; so perhaps there is a reference that needs to be added.
I loved the inclusion of Oct4 and Nanog in the cell specification section. I know that my lab also works with Zp3Cre, SOX2, and TEAD4 in mouse blastocyst models. Maybe information about the mouse research model and these other factored could be added.
