Inner cell mass: Further development, Overview & Regulation of cellular specification

The inner cell mass (ICM) or embryoblast (known as the pluriblast in marsupials) is a structure in the early development of a mammalian embryo. It is the mass of cells inside the blastocyst that will eventually give rise to the definitive structures of the fetus. The inner cell mass forms in the earliest stages of embryonic development, before…
