Mouse oocytes develop in cysts with the help of nurse cells
2021-11-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Mammalian oocytes develop initially in cysts containing many more germ cells than the primordial oocytes they generate. We identified abundant nurse cells with reduced unique molecular identifiers (UMI)/cell from ovaries aged E14.5 to P1. Low UMI nurse cells are found in cysts and express the same major meiotic genes as pro-oocytes of the same stage, suggesting they are oocyte sisters that are si...
