Artificially decreasing cortical tension generates aneuploidy in mouse oocytes
3 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Human and mouse oocytes' developmental potential can be predicted by their mechanical properties. Their development into blastocysts requires a specific stiffness window. In this study, we combine live-cell and computational imaging, laser ablation, and biophysical measurements to investigate how deregulation of cortex tension in the oocyte contributes to early developmental failure. We focus on extra-soft cells,...
