Relief of endoplasmic reticulum stress enhances DNA damage repair and improves development of pre-implantation embryos.

Early-cleaving embryos are known to have better capacity to reach the blastocyst stage and produce better quality embryos compared to late-cleaving embryos. To investigate the significance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on early embryo cleavage kinetics and development, porcine embryos produce...
