BACKGROUND Folliculogenesis occurs in the highly dynamic environment of the ovary.
Follicle cyclic recruitment, neo-angiogenesis, spatial displacement, follicle atresia and …

Theca cells function in a diverse range of necessary roles during folliculogenesis; to
synthesize androgens, provide crosstalk with granulosa cells and oocytes during …

Cytokines are key regulators of ovarian physiology, particularly in relation to folliculogenesis
and ovulation, where they contribute to creating an environment supporting follicle selection …

Productivity in farm species is controlled by many factors, including ovulation rate. In cattle,
single ovulations occur most frequently and in sheep (and goats) the number of ova …

Contents Angiogenesis is a process of vascular growth that is mainly limited to the
reproductive system in healthy adult animals. The development of new blood vessels in the …

The eminent event in follicle selection during a follicular wave in monovular species is
diameter deviation, wherein one follicle continues to grow (develo** dominant) and other …

Preantral follicles are the majority of the ovarian follicle population and their use as a source
of homogeneous oocytes for bovine reproductive biotechnologies could result in a …

The prospect of ovarian rejuvenation offers the tantalising prospect of treating age-related
declines in fertility or in pathological conditions such as premature ovarian failure. The …

VEGF is a potent pro‐angiogenic factor whose effects are opposed by a host of anti‐
angiogenic proteins, including thrombospondin‐1 (TSP‐1). We have previously shown that …

Repair of deep burn by use of the dermal equivalent relies strongly on the angiogenesis and
thereby the regeneration of dermis. To enhance the dermal regeneration, in this study …
