[ 1 ] - Assessment of In Vitro-Derived Germ Cells Contribution in Oogenesis in Female Mice Ovaries
Introduction: Contrary to a common belief, most mammalian females lose the ability of Germ Cell (GC) renewal and oogenesis during fetal life. Although, it has been claimed that germ line stem cells preserve oogenesis in postnatal mouse ovaries, that postnatal oogenesis keeps producing functional and sufficient GCs in the case of infertility (caused by different reasons) is doubtful. On the othe...
[ 2 ] - Effect of Vitamin D3 on Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Granulosa Cells Derived from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder diagnosed by anovulation hyperandrogenism.Hyperandrogenism increases apoptosis, which will eventually disturb follicular growth in PCOS patients.Since mitochondria regulate apoptosis, they might be affected by high incidence of follicular atresia. This may causeinfertility. Since vitamin D3 has been shown to...
