JNK signaling regulates E-cadherin junctions in germline cysts and determines primordial follicle formation in mice
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Physiologically, the size of the primordial follicle pool determines the reproductive lifespan of female mammals, while its establishment largely depends on a process of germline cyst breakdown during the perinatal period. The mechanisms regulating this process are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling is crucial for germline cyst breakdown and primordial follicle...
