Chick embryo as a model for further new life science research?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a study utilizing ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in chick embryos to explore various biomarkers through Western blot techniques. The researchers developed a novel in ovo I/R model by occluding and subsequently releasing the right vitelline artery in chick embryos at 72 hours of development. This model aims to enhance understanding of I/R mechanisms and facilitate quicker drug screening processes. To validate their findings, the study employed imaging techniques, biochemical analyses, and Western blotting to investigate the mechanisms of cell survival and death related to I/R. The researchers invite feedback and comments on their methodology and findings.

TL;DR Summary
Chick embryo is widely used for the study of embryogenesis, The Metabolic markers can also be used for the study of inflammation and inflammatory injuries. These type of models provide better results and easy to handle. Your all Comments appreciated.
In This paper we have used Ischemia - Repurfusion in chick embryo to study different markes using Western blot.

quoting from Paper

Various in vitro and in vivo models are currently available to study I/R mechanism in the brain and other tissues. However, thus far, no in ovo I/R model has been reported for understanding the I/R mechanisms and for faster drug screening. Here, we developed an in ovo Hook model of I/R by occluding and releasing the right vitelline artery of a chick embryo at 72 h of development. To validate the model and elucidate various underlying survival and death mechanisms, we employed imaging (Doppler blood flow imaging), biochemical, and blotting techniques and evaluated the cell death mechanism.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
