Cells, 2021 Cumulus cells (CCs) originating from undifferentiated granulosa cells (GCs) differentiate in mural granulosa cells (MGCs) and CCs during antrum formation in the follicle by the distribution of location. CCs are supporting cells of the oocyte that protect

Single-nucleus Hi-C reveals unique chromatin reorganization at oocyte-to-zygote transition
Nature, 2017 Chromatin is reprogrammed after fertilization to produce a totipotent zygote with the potential to generate a new organism. The maternal genome inherited from the oocyte and the paternal genome provided by sperm coexist as separate haploid nuclei in the ...

The Role of Oocyte Organelles in Determining Developmental Competence
Biology, 2017 The ability of an oocyte to undergo successful cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation, fertilization and embryo development is referred to as the oocyte’s quality or developmental competence.

EFNA5 as an Oocyte-Derived Factor Enhances Developmental Competence by Modulating Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis During In Vitro Maturation [PDF]
AntioxidantsIn vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes remains suboptimal due to oxidative stress and disrupted cumulus–oocyte communication. Oocyte-derived factors (ODFs) are key mediators of this crosstalk and crucial for oocyte competence.

Isolation and in vitro Culture of Mouse Oocytes
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Females are endowed at birth with a fixed reserve of oocytes, which declines both in quantity and quality with advancing age. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating oocyte quality is crucial for improving the chances of pregnancy success in ...
