Transcriptome analysis of human cumulus cells reveals hypoxia as the main determinant of follicular senescence
6 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Can RNA sequencing of human cumulus cells (CC) reveal molecular pathways involved in the physiology of reproductive aging? STUDY FINDING: Senescent but not young CC activate gene pathways associated with hypoxia and oxidative stress. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Shifts in socioeconomic norms are resulting in larger numbers of women postponing childbearing. The reproductive potential is sharply decreased...
