Deskripsi

How maternal RNA clearance is regulated in human preimplantation embryos is unclear. Here, the authors show there is a potential correlation between maternal mRNA decay defects and early developmental arrest from in vitro fertilized human embryos, suggesting that M-decay and Z-decay pathways may regulate such early development.
