Mitochondrial aggregation caused by cytochalasin B compromises the efficiency and safety of three-parent embryo

Abstract excerpt

It is widely accepted that cytochalasin B (CB) is required in enucleation of the oocyte in order to stabilize the cytoplasm. However, CB treatment results in the uneven distribution of mitochondria, with aggregation towards the nucleus, which might compromise the efficiency and safety of a three-parent embryo. Here, we demonstrated that CB treatment affected mitochondrial dynamics, spindle morphology and...
