Interactions between Somatic Cells and Germ Cells Throughout Mammalian Oogenesis1
1 Oct 1990
Abstract excerpt
Oocytes and their companion somatic cells maintain a close association throughout oogenesis and this association is essential for normal oocyte and follicular development. This review summarizes current concepts of the role of the somatic cells in the regulation of mammalian oocyte growth, the maintenance of meiotic arrest, the induction of oocyte maturation, and the acquisition of full embryonic developmental...
