HSFs and regulation of Hsp70.1 (Hspa1b) in oocytes and preimplantation embryos: new insights brought by transgenic and knockout mouse models

Lack of maternal Heat Shock Factor 1 results in multiple cellular and developmental defects, including mitochondrial damage and altered redox homeostasis, and leads to reduced survival of mammalian oocytes and embryos
