Contribution of Germ Cells to the Differentiation and Maturation of the Ovary: Insights from Models of Germ Cell Depletion
8 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, the role played by germ cells in ovarian differentiation and folliculogenesis has been the focus of an increasing number of studies over the last decades. From these studies, it has emerged that bidirectional communication between germ cells and surrounding companion cells is required as soon as the initial assembly of follicles. Models of germ cell depletion that arise from both spontaneous and...
