Programmed Cell Death in the Ovary: Insights and Future Prospects Using Genetic Technologies
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a prominent role in development of the fetal ovaries and in the postnatal ovarian cycle. As is the case with other major organ systems, an evolutionarily conserved framework of genes and signaling pathways has been implicated in determining whether or not ovarian germ cells and somatic cells will die in response to either developmental cues or pathological insults. However, the...
