The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on
survival, activation (transition from primordial to primary follicles) and growth of caprine …

Fertility preservation of prepubertal girls subjected to invasive cancer therapy necessitates
defining protocols for activation of isolated primordial follicles. Granulosa (GCs) and …

Vitrification is a promising method for ovarian cortex preservation, however, oxidative stress
resulting from excessive free radical production can cause irreversible damage to the ovary …

In vitro growth of preantral follicles has the potential to produce considerable numbers of
competent oocytes for use in medicine, agriculture, and even wildlife conservation. The …

Purpose The mechanism underlying primordial follicle activation is poorly understood. In this
study, in-vitro culture and subsequent xenotransplantation were conducted to determine …

This study aimed to gain insight on the effect of different seasons of the year on the
expression pattern of growth factor and hormone receptors involved in follicle development …

This study evaluated the effect of leptin on the in vitro culture of isolated sheep early antral
follicles. Early antral follicles (300–450 μm) were isolated and cultured for 12 days in tissue …

The inability to obtain in vivo samples of antral follicle wall layers without removing the
ovaries or sacrificing the animals has limited more in‐depth studies on folliculogenesis. In …

Cold is a significant environmental stress factor. Studies have shown that exposure to cold
environments can cause local or whole-body temperatures to decrease, posing a severe …

Fertility preservation is an important type of frontier scientific research in the field of
reproductive health. The culture of ovarian cortices to i) initiate primordial follicle growth and …
