Somatic cell nuclear reprogramming of mouse oocytes endures beyond reproductive decline
22 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian oocyte has the unique feature of supporting fertilization and normal development, while capable of reprogramming nuclei of somatic cells toward pluripotency, and occasionally even totipotency. While oocyte quality is known to decay with somatic aging, it is not a given that different biological functions decay concurrently. In this study, we tested whether oocyte's reprogramming ability decreases...
