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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Purpose We first assessed regulation of FGF2 expression in cumulus cells by FSH and
oocyte-secreted factors during in vitro maturation (IVM). Then, we tested the hypothesis that …

Purpose In an attempt to improve in vitro embryo production, we investigated the effect of
fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) during in vitro maturation on the developmental capacity …

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

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different concentration of FGF2
viz. 5 ng (T1), 10 ng (T2), and 20 ng/mL (T3) on cumulus cell expansion, oocyte maturation …

In vitro embryo production (IVP) efficiency is reduced when compared to in vivo. The basic
knowledge of bovine in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) mechanisms provides support to …

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