During folliculogenesis, the oocyte and surrounding cumulus cells form an ensemble called
the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC). Due to their interdependence, research on the COC …

Estrogen is an important modulator of reproductive activity through nuclear receptors and G
protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER). Here, we observed that both estradiol and the …

Glyphosate‐based herbicides (GBHs) are a group of widely used broad‐spectrum
agricultural pesticides. Due to the recalcitrance of GBH, it has been found in food and …

Estrogen and its analogues are ubiquitous in agricultural environments, with large biological
functions of oocyte development. Gap junction intercellular communications (GJICs) are the …

Bisphenol S (BPS) is used as an alternative plasticizer to Bisphenol A (BPA), despite limited
knowledge of potential adverse effects. BPA exhibits endocrine disrupting effects during …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role for angiogenesis in ovaries,
particularly during the follicular development and ovulation. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of the …

The estrogen-signalling pathway is critical for normal follicular development; however, little
is known about its importance during in vitro maturation (IVM) in large animals, particularly …

Mammalian oocyte restores meiosis can be stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
under normal physiological conditions. G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), an non …

Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) is necessary for ovarian function, and it is
temporospatially regulated during follicular development and ovulation. At outermost layer of …

The risks of planktonic cyanobacteria blooms have been the focus of much scientific
research, but studies on the ecotoxicological effects of benthic cyanobacteria are lagging …
