Common mechanisms of physiological and pathological rupture events in biology: novel insights into mammalian ovulation and beyond
8 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Ovulation is a cyclical biological rupture event fundamental to fertilisation and endocrine function. During this process, the somatic support cells that surround the germ cell undergo a remodelling process that culminates in breakdown of the follicle wall and release of a mature egg. Ovulation is driven by known proteolytic and inflammatory pathways as well as structural alterations to the follicle vasculature...
