Oocyte maturation: gamete-somatic cells interactions, meiotic resumption, cytoskeletal dynamics and cytoplasmic reorganization.
BACKGROUND In a growth phase occurring during most of folliculogenesis, the oocyte produces and accumulates molecules and organelles that are fundamental for the development of the preimplantation embryo. At ovulation, growth is followed by a phase of maturation that, although confined within a short temporal window, encompasses modifications of the oocyte chromosome complement and rearrangemen...
متن کاملI-31: Reconstruction of Human Endometrium from Somatic Stem Cells
s:3115:"Background: During reproductive life, the human endometrium undergoes around 500 cycles of growth, breakdown and regeneration. This outstanding regenerative capability is the basis for cyclic endometrial preparation and its dysfunction is involved in pathological disorders. Endometrial regeneration is mediated by the existence of a specialized endometrial stem cell (SC) population recen...
متن کاملCyclic GMP from the surrounding somatic cells regulates cyclic AMP and meiosis in the mouse oocyte.
Mammalian oocytes are arrested in meiotic prophase by an inhibitory signal from the surrounding somatic cells in the ovarian follicle. In response to luteinizing hormone (LH), which binds to receptors on the somatic cells, the oocyte proceeds to second metaphase, where it can be fertilized. Here we investigate how the somatic cells regulate the prophase-to-metaphase transition in the oocyte, an...
متن کاملCrossmodal interactions: lessons from synesthesia.
Synesthesia is a condition in which stimulation in one modality also gives rise to a perceptual experience in a second modality. In two recent studies we found that the condition is more common than previously reported; up to 5% of the population may experience at least one type of synesthesia. Although the condition has been traditionally viewed as an anomaly (e.g., breakdown in modularity), i...
متن کاملRevisiting oocyte–somatic cell interactions: in search of novel intrafollicular predictors and regulators of oocyte developmental competence
Prediction and improvement of oocyte competence are two critical issues in assisted reproductive technology to improve infertility therapy. The lack of reliable and objective predictors of oocyte developmental competence for oocyte/embryo selection during in vitro fertilization hampers the effectiveness of this technology. Likewise, the low pregnancy rate resulting from in vitro maturation of h...
