The Function of Cumulus Cells in Oocyte Growth and Maturation and in Subsequent Ovulation and Fertilization
2 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cumulus cells (CCs) originating from undifferentiated granulosa cells (GCs) differentiate in mural granulosa cells (MGCs) and CCs during antrum formation in the follicle by the distribution of location. CCs are supporting cells of the oocyte that protect the oocyte from the microenvironment, which helps oocyte growth and maturation in the follicles. Bi-directional communications between an oocyte and CCs are...
