Fertilization can offset age-related egg changes in mice
Eggs from aged mice fertilized in the lab formed early embryos at rates comparable to young controls and developed without detectable impairment in young recipients.Eggs from aged mice fertilized in the lab formed early embryos at rates comparable to young controls and developed without detectable impairment in young recipients.
Preprint: mouse studyReproductive system
Who was studiedAged oocytes, against young controls
What changedAged oocytes produced blastocysts at rates comparable to young controls, with no detectable impairment in development to term
The catchEmbryos were transferred into young oviducts; development in aged recipients was not measured
