Abstract Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) plays critical roles in oocyte maturation and
embryonic development; however, the specific pathway by which FGF10 promotes in vitro …

Abstract Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is an important regulator of the mammalian
cumulus-oocyte complex that plays a crucial role in oocyte maturation. In this study, we …

Contents Fibroblast growth factor (FGF10) acts at the cumulus oocyte complex, increasing
the expression of cumulus cell expansion‐related genes and oocyte competency genes. We …

Abstract Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF8) is a member of the transforming growth
factor-β (TGF-β) family and has been identified as a strong physiological regulator. This …

In vitro generation of porcine embryos is an indispensable method in the realms of both
agriculture and biomedicine. Nonetheless, the extant procedures encounter substantial …

Recent data indicate that fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling regulates oocyte
developmental competence. Fibroblast growth factor 10 enhanced nuclear maturation …

Growth factors synthesized by ovarian somatic cells affect cumulus cell expansion and
oocyte maturation in vitro. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), for example, is a known …

BACKGROUND Successful oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) would eliminate the need for
hormonal stimulation used in assisted reproduction techniques. Unfortunately, oocytes …

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to facilitate the in vitro maturation of sheep
oocytes, and enhance embryo's capability for further development. However, such kind of …

Acquisition of developmental competency in cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) is derived
from endocrine hormones and oocyte secreted factors. The contribution of these factors in …
