Protein Palmitoylation in Bovine Ovarian Follicle [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 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 ...

An externally validated age-related model of mean follicle density in the cortex of the human ovary [PDF]
, 2015 The population of non-growing follicles present in the ovary is defined as the ovarian reserve. This underpins the reproductive lifespan in women, with its depletion determining age at loss of fertility and the menopause.

Computer-Generated Ovaries to Assist Follicle Counting Experiments [PDF]
, 2015 Precise estimation of the number of follicles in ovaries is of key importance in the field of reproductive biology, both from a developmental point of view, where follicle numbers are determined at specific time points, as well as from a therapeutic ...

Hyaluronan and proteoglycans in ovarian follicles [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1999 Proteoglycans are macromolecules formed by a protein backbone to which one or more glycosaminoglycan side chains are co-valently attached. They can be secreted by the cells, retained at the cell surface, or stored in intracellular vacuoles. Hyaluronan is an extremely long glycosaminoglycan which, at variance with other glycosaminoglycans, is released ...

Germ–Somatic Cell Interactions Are Involved in Establishing the Follicle Reserve in Mammals
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Mammalian females are born with a finite reserve of ovarian follicles, the functional units of the ovary. Building an ovarian follicle involves a complex interaction between multiple cell types, of which the oocyte germ cell and the somatic granulosa ...

Metabolic Cooperation in the Ovarian Follicle
Physiological Research, 2020 Granulosa cells (GCs) are somatic cells essential for establishing and maintaining bi-directional communication with the oocytes. This connection has a profound importance for the delivery of energy substrates, structural components and ions to the maturing oocyte through gap junctions.
