Human embryos arrest in a quiescent-like state characterized by metabolic and zygotic genome activation problems
2021-12-21
Abstract excerpt
Around 60% of in vitro fertilized (IVF) human embryos irreversibly arrest before compaction between the 3-8-cell stage, posing a significant clinical problem. The mechanisms behind this arrest are unclear. Here, we show that the arrested embryos enter a quiescent-like state, marked by cell cycle arrest, the downregulation of ribosomes and histones and downregulation of MYC and p53 activity. Mechanistically, the a...
