Vitamin C Rescues in vitro Embryonic Development by Correcting Impaired Active DNA Demethylation
19 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
During preimplantation development, a wave of genome-wide DNA demethylation occurs to acquire a hypomethylated genome of the blastocyst. As an essential epigenomic event, postfertilization DNA demethylation is critical to establish full developmental potential. Despite its importance, this process is prone to be disrupted due to environmental perturbations such as manipulation and culture of embryos during in...
