microRNA 376a regulates follicle assembly by targeting <i>Pcna</i> in fetal and neonatal mouse ovaries
1 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, the primordial follicle pool, providing all oocytes available to a female throughout her reproductive life, is established perinatally. Dysregulation of primordial follicle assembly results in female reproductive diseases, such as premature ovarian insufficiency and infertility. Female mice lacking Dicer1 (Dicer), a gene required for biogenesis of microRNAs, show abnormal morphology of follicles and...
