Interactions between the Oocyte and Surrounding Somatic Cells in Follicular Development: Lessons from In Vitro Culture
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian oogenesis occurs concomitantly with folliculogenesis in a coordinated manner in the ovaries. In vitro growth (IVG) culture systems of the oocytes have been developed as a new technology for utilizing incompetent oocytes in the ovary as a source of mature oocytes as well as for studying oogenesis, folliculogenesis, and oocyte-somatic cell interactions. The results of IVG experiments have suggested that...
