A model illustrating the important role of vitamin C in stimulating TET-mediated DNA demethylation in preimplantation embryos. Exogenous vitamin C supplementation into culture medium rescues impaired DNA demethylation in IVF embryos by enhancing TET enzymatic activity, and thus improving preimplantation lineage differentiation and promoting developmental potential of IVF blastocysts.
