Proper course of folliculogenesis and oogenesis have an enormous impact on female
fertility. Both processes take place in the ovary and involve not only the maturing germ cell …

The growth and development of oocyte affect the functional activities of the surrounding
somatic cells. These cells are regulated by various types of hormones, proteins, metabolites …

The human ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) surround the oocyte and form the proper
architecture of the ovarian follicle. The ability of GCs to proliferate and differentiate in the …

Polyspermia is an adverse phenomenon during mammalian fertilization when more than
one sperm fuses with a single oocyte. The egg cell is prepared to prevent polyspermia by …

Oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) actively produce stimulating and protecting factors, favoring
survival and viability of gametes and early embryos. The oviduct participates in the initial …

The morphological and biochemical modification of oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) belongs
to the group of compound processes responsible for proper oocyte transport and successful …

Under physiological conditions, human ovarian granulosa cells (GCs), are responsible for a
number of processes associated with folliculogenesis and oogenesis. The primary functions …

The processes underlying maturation of mammalian oocytes are considered crucial for the
oocytes ability to undergo monospermic fertilization. The same factors of influence are …

This paper aims to identify and describe new genetic markers involved in the processes of
protein expression and modification reflected in the change of mitochondrial activity before …

Genes influencing oocyte maturation may be valuable for predicting their developmental
potential, as well as discerning the mechanistic pathways regulating oocyte development. In …
