Alerts embryologists to decompaction timing risks in culture; leaves open translation to human blastocyst viability.
Prolonged decompaction beyond the 32-cell stage in mouse embryos disrupts normal blastocyst development, reducing functional inner cell mass.
Johnson et al. (1979) studied this question.
