Regulation of Gap-Junctional Communication Between Cumulus Cells During In Vitro Maturation in Swine, a Gap-FRAP Study1
31 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Intercellular gap-junctional communication (GJC) plays an important role in ovarian cell physiology. Closure of GJC has been proposed to be involved in oocyte maturation, particularly in the resumption of meiosis, both in vivo and in vitro, by controlling the flow of meiosis inhibitors, such as cAMP and cGMP. Understanding how GJC dynamics are regulated during in vitro maturation (IVM) could provide a powerful...
