Protease expression in the human and rat cumulus–oocyte complex during the periovulatory period: a role in cumulus–oocyte complex migration
16 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
The migratory and matrix-invading capacities of the cumulus-oocyte complex have been shown to be important for the ovulatory process. In metastatic cancers, these capacities are due to increased expression of proteases, however, there is limited information on protease expression in the cumulus-oocyte complexes. The present study examined cumulus-oocyte complex expression of plasmins, matrix metalloproteases, and...
