Redox-Driven Epigenetic Modifications in Sperm: Unraveling Paternal Influences on Embryo Development and Transgenerational Health
9 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Male-factor infertility accounts for nearly half of all infertility cases, and mounting evidence points to oxidative stress as a pivotal driver of sperm dysfunction, genetic instability, and epigenetic dysregulation. In particular, the oxidative DNA lesion 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has emerged as a central mediator at the interface of DNA damage and epigenetic regulation. We discuss how this lesion can...
