BOSTON -- For the first time, researchers have shown how Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS), also known as anti-Mullerian hormone, a key reproductive hormone, suppresses follicle development and ...

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 ...

The development of both the mammalian oocyte and the somatic cell compartments of the ovarian follicle is highly coordinated; this coordination ensures that the ovulated oocyte is ready to undergo ...

The FASEB Journal suggests that human female eggs produce a previously unknown hormone, called R-spondin2, which promotes follicle development and stimulates ovary growth Bethesda, MD—A newly ...

During the early phase of oogenesis the total population of gametes in the ovary is produced by intense mitosis and thereafter no further additions take place. The commencement of meiosis is initiated ...

Researchers have succeeded in reconstructing the ovarian environment using mouse stem cells. While growing immature egg cells -- known as oocytes -- from stem cells has been possible, the process ...

The first follicle wave undergoes atresia to amplify androgen-producing theca cells, while previously unknown wave 1.5 follicles leave quiescence at 2 weeks and produce most of the earliest offspring.

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, ...
