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

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.

Functional Roles of Src Kinase Activity in Oocyte Maturation and Artificial Egg Activation in Xenopus laevis [PDF]
CellsSrc family tyrosine kinases regulate oocyte maturation and fertilization in many species, yet their physiological roles in Xenopus laevis (X. laevis) remain incompletely defined. Here, we generated three X. laevis Src (xSrc) constructs with defined point

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 ...

Mitochondria: Their relevance during oocyte ageing
Ageing Research Reviews, 2021 The oocyte is recognised as the largest cell in mammalian species and other multicellular organisms. Mitochondria represent a high proportion of the cytoplasm in oocytes and mitochondrial architecture is different in oocytes than in somatic cells ...
