BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to review the available information on ovarian
radiation sensitivity and the genetic hazard of ionizing radiation in female mammals …

Folliculogenesis is a complex process that requires integration of autocrine, paracrine, and
endocrine factors together with tightly regulated interactions between granulosa cells and …

3000 new references added since the first editionGives information necessary to produce
embryos totally through in vitro techniques Shows commercial applications of embryo and …

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether follicles grown within
human ovarian cortical strip culture for 6 days in serum-free medium could be isolated at the …

Culture of preantral follicles has important biotechnological implications through its potential
to produce large quantities of oocytes for embryo production and transfer. A long-term …

Sheep preantral follicles (PFs) measuring 250–400 μm in diameter were cultured for six
days in serum-free media supplemented differently with growth factors and hormones …

The objective was to evaluate the effects of growth hormone (GH) on the survival, growth,
maturation, and fertilization of oocytes derived from caprine preantral ovarian follicles …

BACKGROUND An alginate-based matrix supports the three-dimensional (3D) architecture
of non-human primate follicles and, in the presence of FSH, permits the in vitro development …

This study was conducted to identify an in vitro culture system that would support intact
porcine follicle growth from preantral follicle to antral stages, oocyte maturation, fertilization …

BACKGROUND: We investigated at what stage early cultured preantral mouse follicles
become dependent on a minimal effective FSH dose (10 mIU/ml) and analysed the influence …
