During the reproductive lifespan of a female, only a limited quantity of oocytes are naturally
ovulated; therefore, the mammalian ovary possesses a substantial population of preantral …

This study examined the influences of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and growth
differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) on in vitro viability and activation of primordial follicles in the …
