Insufficient telomeric DNA damage response promotes chromosomal instability in aged oocytes
25 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Increased chromosomal instability impairs oocyte quality, contributing to female reproductive aging. The telomeric DNA damage response (DDR) is essential for genomic stability; however, how oocytes respond to telomeric damage remains elusive. Here, we observed that aged human germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes accumulated telomeric DNA damage. We next established a telomeric DNA damage model with CRISPR/Cas9 in mouse...
