DNA damage and repair in human oocytes and embryos: a review
21 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The genome of all cells is protected at all times by mechanisms collectively known as DNA repair activity (DRA). Such activity is particularly important at the beginning of human life, i.e. at fertilization, immediately after and at the very onset of embryonic development.
