Three-dimensional organization of transzonal projections and other cytoplasmic extensions in the mouse ovarian follicle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Each mammalian oocyte is nurtured by its own multi-cellular structure, the ovarian follicle. We used new methods for serial section electron microscopy to examine entire cumulus and mural granulosa cells and their projections in mouse antral ovarian ...

The Signaling Pathways Involved in Ovarian Follicle Development. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2021 The follicle is the functional unit of the ovary, which is composed of three types of cells: oocytes, granulosa cells, and theca cells. Ovarian follicle development and the subsequent ovulation process are coordinated by highly complex interplay between ...

Protein Palmitoylation in Bovine Ovarian Follicle. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Protein palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification by fatty acids (FA), mainly a palmitate (C16:0). Palmitoylation allows protein shuttling between the plasma membrane and cytosol to regulate protein stability, sorting and signaling activity and its deficiency leads to diseases.

Bioengineering the Ovarian Follicle Microenvironment [PDF]
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2014 Chemo- and radiation therapies used to treat cancer can have the unintended effect of making patients infertile. Clinically established fertility preservation methods, such as egg and embryo cryopreservation, are not applicable to all patients, which has motivated the development of strategies that involve ovarian tissue removal and cryopreservation ...
