Heterogeneity in sexual bipotentiality and plasticity of granulosa cells in developing mouse ovaries
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
In mammalian sex determination, SRY directly upregulates the expression of SOX9, the master regulatory transcription factor in Sertoli cell differentiation, leading to testis formation. Without SRY action, the bipotential gonadal cells become pre-granulosa cells, which results in ovarian follicle development. When, where and how pre-granulosa cells are determined to differentiate into developing ovaries, however,...
