Oocyte-granulosa cell interactions [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 2000 In the past, different protocols of ovulation induction, aimed to overcome problems of anovulatory infertility in humans, have been developed during IVF programmes. However, administration of exogenous hormones may cause severe health problems, e.g. ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary
Cancer Treatment Reviews, 2008 Ovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms that arise from the sex-cord stromal cells of the ovary. GCTs are characterized by long natural history and their tendency to recur years after the initial diagnosis. They present with symptoms and signs due to estradiol secretion, including vaginal bleeding and precocious puberty ...
