A new open-access review in the Journal of Ovarian Research maps how oocyte–granulosa cell communication networks coordinate ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications by researchers at Karolinska Institutet offers new insights into the development of ovarian follicles, which are vital for female fertility as they ...

Women with obesity, even those with regular menstrual cycles, have suppressed ovarian follicle development and reduced production of reproductive hormones, which may underlie reduced fertility, ...

Low egg production in Wanxi white geese limits their commercial viability. This study investigates the role of luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) in regulating granulosa cell ...

Ovarian follicle development relies on precisely orchestrated vascular growth to supply oxygen, nutrients and endocrine signals to the maturing oocyte and its surrounding somatic cells. In early ...

Female fertility depends on the successful growth and maturation of eggs (oocytes) within ovarian follicles. Within these follicles, the oocyte is surrounded by granulosa cells that supply nutrients, ...

The discovery that zinc is involved in the fertilization process earlier than initially thought was made with the help of the Bionanoprobe, a cutting-edge instrument at Argonne. To make a baby, first ...

As ovaries age, the tissue surrounding developing eggs becomes stiffer, changing the environment in which they mature. How this physical change affects egg development and quality has remained poorly ...

A little-known structure beside the ovary is being called a “new female organ” online. Known as the rete ovarii, it was first described in 1870 and long dismissed as a foetal developmental leftover. A ...

(Ed Reschke/Stone RF/Getty Images) The ovaries are among the first organs to show signs of aging, and yet we still don't ...

A mouse study reports that benzo(a)pyrene exposure depletes ovarian follicles, damages uterine tissue, and expands ovarian cell populations marked by the cancer stem-cell receptors CD44 and CD133 ...
