Glial-derived neurotrophic factor promotes ovarian primordial follicle development and cell–cell interactions during folliculogenesis
11 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Female fertility is determined in part by the size and development of the primordial follicle pool. The current study investigates the role of glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the regulation of primordial follicle development in the ovary.
