Oocyte-somatic cell interactions during follicle development in mammals.

Animal reproduction science - 1 Jul 2004

Gilchrist R B, Ritter L J, Armstrong D T

Abstract excerpt

Our current perspectives on the relationship between the oocyte and its surrounding somatic cells are changing as we gain a greater understanding of factors regulating folliculogenesis. It is now widely accepted that the oocyte plays a very active role in promoting follicle growth and directing granulosa cell differentiation. The oocyte achieves this, in part, by secreting soluble paracrine growth factors that...
