Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is currently regarded as a key regulator of ovarian physiology beyond its well-known neurotrophic functions. The mammalian ovary is one of the most highly innervated peripheral…

Background and Objectives: Granulosa (GCs) and cumulus cells (CCs) play a key supportive role in oocyte developmental competence and in antioxidant defence mechanisms triggered by endogenous reactive oxygen species production. Assisted repr…

Nanomaterials (NMs) are becoming increasingly important in biomedical applications, especially in reproductive biology and oncology. In this review, we examined the "double face" of NMs as prooxidants and antioxidants in relation to ovarian…
