A Narrative Review of Recent Insights on Nerve Growth Factor Signaling in Physiological and Pathological Ovarian Processes in Mammals [PDF]
BiomoleculesNerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions.

Integrative Transcriptome Analysis Across Follicles Highlights Key Regulatory Pathways in Low and High-Egg-Laying Hens [PDF]
AnimalsEgg-laying performance in hens is regulated by complex molecular mechanisms within the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis and ovarian follicles. This study employed integrative transcriptome profiling of primordial (PR), primary (PM), small white (

A Feasible Option before Cycle Cancellation for Poor Responders; STOP-START Protocol [PDF]
International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2021 Despite the advances in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), management of a subgroup of poor ovarian responderpatients may still be challenging. We describe a feasible and simplified protocol, namely the STOP-START protocol,for poor responders defined ...

Intercellular communication in the cumulus–oocyte complex during folliculogenesis: A review
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 During folliculogenesis, the oocyte and surrounding cumulus cells form an ensemble called the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC). Due to their interdependence, research on the COC has been a hot issue in the past few decades.

Dynamic transcriptome and chromatin architecture in granulosa cells during chicken folliculogenesis
Nature Communications, 2022 The domestic chicken Gallus gallus domesticus is a classic model for the study of folliculogenesis. Here the authors integrate multi-omics analyses characterizing the dynamic transcriptome and chromatin architecture in granulosa cells during chicken ...

Role of certain growth factors and hormones in folliculogenesis
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Folliculogenesis is an inextricable process associated with female fertility and infertility cases. This process involves many events at cellular and molecular level in a highly orchestrated fashion which culminates with ovulation.

Squeezing the eggs to grow: The mechanobiology of mammalian folliculogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The formation of functional eggs (oocyte) in ovarian follicles is arguably one of the most important events in early mammalian development since the oocytes provide the bulk genetic and cytoplasmic materials for successful reproduction.

Ovary Development: Insights From a Three-Dimensional Imaging Revolution
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The ovary is an indispensable unit of female reproduction and health. However, the study of ovarian function in mammals is hindered by unique challenges, which include the desynchronized development of oocytes, irregular distribution and vast size ...
