Spatial distribution of preantral follicles in the equine ovary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Comprehensive studies on spatial distribution of preantral follicles in the ovary are scarce. Considering that preantral follicles represent the main ovarian reserve, harvesting of these follicles is crucial for the development/use of assisted ...

Microencapsulation and nanowarming enables vitrification cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 Preantral follicles are often used as models for cryopreservation and in vitro culture due to their easy availability. As a promising approach for mammalian fertility preservation, vitrification of preantral follicles requires high concentrations of ...

Alteration of TGFB1, GDF9, and BMPR2 gene expression in preantral follicles of an estradiol valerate-induced polycystic ovary mouse model can lead to anovulation, polycystic morphology, obesity, and absence of hyperandrogenism. [PDF]
Clin Exp Reprod Med, 2021 Objective In humans, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an androgen-dependent ovarian disorder. Aberrant gene expression in folliculogenesis can arrest the transition of preantral to antral follicles, leading to PCOS.

The optimized research of the in vitro culture of preantral follicles in mice. [PDF]
J Clin Lab Anal, 2020 Efficiency of preantral follicle culture in vitro is low and is dependent on species, development stage, and follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration. Here, we optimized the preantral follicle in vitro culture system in mice.
