In order to reveal the complex mechanism governing the mitotic/meiotic switch in female
germ cells at epigenomic and genomic levels, we examined the chromatin accessibility …

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is an insidious cause of female infertility and a devastating
condition for women. POF also has a strong familial and heterogeneous genetic …

We established an efficient and simplified single-cell proteomics (ES–SCP) workflow to
realize proteomics profiling at the single-oocyte level. With the ES–SCP workflow, we …

The identification of mutations in the genes encoding bone morphogenetic protein 15
(BMP15) and growth and differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) associated with phenotypes of …

Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9)
are oocyte-specific paracrine factors which regulate ovarian cumulus cell (CC) functions …

Purpose To analyze the level of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone
morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) in follicle fluid (FF) and granulosa cells (GCs) derived …

Oocyte-secreted growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15
(BMP15) are critical paracrine regulators of female fertility. Recent studies demonstrated that …

Abstract Purpose The BMPR1B and BMP15 genes are well known for their considerable
associations with prolificacy in sheep. These genes may also affect fertility or prolificacy in …

Background As BMP15, GDF9, and kisspeptin all play critical roles in folliculogenesis and
fertilization, investigating the possible relationship between obesity and these three factors …

Genetic polymorphism studies in domestic animals aim at assessing genetic variations
within and across breeds mainly for preservation purposes. The bone morphogenetic …
