Human oogenesis is a highly complex and not yet fully understood process due to ethical
and technological barriers that limit studies in the field. In this context, replicating female …

TRIM36 is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family of RING-containing proteins, also
known as Haprin, which was first discovered for its abundance in testis and found to be …

Wharton's jelly derived-mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) have a same developmental
origin with primordial germ cells. WJ-MSCs perhaps differentiate into oocyte and germ like …

Human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (EnSCs) derived from menstrual blood are a
unique stem cell source. Evidence suggests that EnSCs exhibit a multi-lineage potential and …

The peritoneum mesothelium lines body cavities and has the same origin as ovarian surface
epithelium with probable existence of peritoneum mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs). In the …

Background To increase the results of infertility treatment, many efforts have been made to
improve the treatment methods. As assisted reproductive technology is mainly using cell …

Background The objective of this study was to induce the differentiation of human theca stem
cells (hTSCs) into germ cell-like cells (hGCLCs) and assess their developmental …

Tektins are a group of microtubule‐stabilizing proteins necessary for cilia and flagella
assembly. TEKTIN1 (TEKT1) is used as a sperm marker for monitoring germ cell …

Abstract Development of precise and reproducible culture system for in vitro differentiation of
embryonic stem (ES) cells into germ cells counts as a major leap forward for understanding …

Background Cumulus cells, as oocyte nurse cells, provide a suitable microenvironment with
growth factors and cellular interactions required for oocyte maturation. Thus, these cells may …
