The filipodia-like protrusions of adjacent somatic cells shape the developmental potential of mouse oocytes
2022-09-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The oocyte must grow and mature before fertilization, thanks to a close dialogue with the somatic cells which surround it. Part of this communication is through filopodialike protrusions, called transzonal projections (TZPs), sent by the somatic cells to the oocyte membrane. To investigate the contribution of TZPs to oocyte quality, we impaired their structure by generating a full knockout mouse...
