More than 99% of follicles undergo “atresia” during follicular development and growth.
Follicular atresia is predominantly regulated by granulosa cell apoptosis. However, the …

Tumorigenesis is the process by which normal cells evolve the capacity to evade and
overcome the constraints usually placed upon their growth and survival. To ensure the …

Here we present novel gene expression patterns in the ovary as part of an ongoing
assessment of published micro-array data from mouse oocytes and embryos. We present …

ABSTRACT The Netrin receptor Frazzled/Dcc (Fra in Drosophila) functions in diverse tissue
contexts to regulate cell migration, axon guidance and cell survival. Fra signals in response …

The netrin axon guidance genes have previously been implicated in fertility in C. elegans
and in vertebrates. Here we show that adult Drosophila lacking both netrin genes, NetA and …

Follicular selection predominantly depends on granulosa cell apoptosis in porcine ovaries,
but the molecular mechanisms regulating the induction of apoptosis in granulosa cells …

This study was aimed to improve knowledge about swine ovarian follicular function, paying
attention to angiogenesis, since new vessel growth is a fundamental event in ovarian …

Netrin-1 was first identified as a guidance factor in axon outgrowth during central nervous
system development and was later shown to be involved in the morphogenesis of other …
