Germ–Somatic Cell Interactions Are Involved in Establishing the Follicle Reserve in Mammals
14 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian females are born with a finite reserve of ovarian follicles, the functional units of the ovary. Building an ovarian follicle involves a complex interaction between multiple cell types, of which the oocyte germ cell and the somatic granulosa cells play a major role. Germ-somatic cell interactions are modulated by factors of different cell origins that influence ovarian development. In early development,...
