Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and related growth factors are secreted pleiotropic
factors that play critical roles in embryogenesis and adult tissue homeostasis by regulating …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate gene
expression. In the past decade, studies on miRNAs in ovaries have revealed the key roles of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are active regulators of numerous biological and physiological
processes including most of the events of mammalian reproduction. Understanding the …

Premature ovarian failure is a to some extent unknown and intricate problem with diverse
causes and clinical manifestations. The lack of ovarian sex hormones presumably is …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small, noncoding single-stranded RNA molecules
approximately 22 nucleotides in length. miRNAs are involved in the post-transcriptional …

The genetic regulation of female fertility (follicular development, oocyte maturation and early
preimplantation embryo development) involves the spatio-temporal regulation of those …

The mammalian ovary is a dynamic organ. The coordination of follicle recruitment, selection,
and ovulation and the timely development and regression of the corpus luteum are essential …

This study aimed to investigate the miRNA expression patterns in granulosa cells of
subordinate (SF) and dominant follicle (DF) during the early luteal phase of the bovine …

Chicken atrophic ovaries have decreased volume and are indicative of ovarian failure,
presence of a tumor, or interrupted ovarian blood supply. Ovarian tumor is accompanied by …

Background Aging has detrimental effects on the ovary, such as a progressive reduction in
fertility and decreased hormone production, that greatly reduce the quality of life of women …
