Prolonged ovarian storage of mature <i>Drosophila</i> oocytes dramatically increases meiotic spindle instability
2019-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> More than 95% of fertilized Drosophila oocytes from outbred stocks develop fully regardless of maternal age, in contrast to human oocytes, which frequently generate non-viable aneuploid embryos. Since Drosophila oocytes are normally stored only briefly prior to ovulation, unlike their human counterparts, we investigated the effects of storage on oocyte quality. Using a novel system to acquire o...
