Intercellular Communication in the Mammalian Ovary: Oocytes Carry the Conversation

21 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

The production of functional female gametes is essential for the propagation of all vertebrate species. The growth of oocytes within ovarian follicles and their development to mature eggs have fascinated biologists for centuries, and scientists have long realized the importance of the ovarian follicle's somatic cells in nurturing oogenesis and delivering the oocyte to the oviduct by ovulation. Recent studies have...
