Oocyte maturation and follicular development are fundamental processes that underpin female fertility. ... ovulatory follicles through tightly regulated cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Dartmouth researchers studying cell division in fruit flies have discovered a pathway that may improve understanding of molecular ... established in oocytes during fetal development must remain ...

Scientists have characterized a mechanism that allows for asymmetrical cell division during meiosis in oocytes. By tracking chromosome movement in live mouse oocytes, they have discovered that ...

The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

Females are born with a finite number of eggs that are steadily depleted throughout their lifetime. This reserve of eggs is selected from a much larger pool of millions of precursor cells; there is a ...

This protein allows the oocyte to retain the majority of the cytoplasm – a requirement for embryonic development ... dissection of the molecular components and mechanisms." ...

She pointed out that she’d be interested in seeing what other stages of oocyte maturation and ovulation this signaling pathway may affect. Vasudevan and Grmai are interested in exploring more of the ...

the authors said that their method of reconstituting multiple steps in the development of female germ cells may help to clarify the molecular mechanisms of primate oocyte development and could one ...
