The chick embryo is a widely used animal model in developmental biology research. Its transparent eggshell allows for easy visualization of embryonic development and manipulations during embryogenesis. Chick embryos have been used to study a variety of biological processes, including organogenesis, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis. Additionally, chick embryos have been used as a model for studying human diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and infectious diseases.
