The ovarian follicle is the basic functional unit of the ovary, comprising theca cells and granulosa cells (GCs). Two different types of GCs, mural GCs and cumulus cells (CCs), serve different functions during folliculogenesis. Mural GCs pr…
The human ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) surround the oocyte and form the proper architecture of the ovarian follicle. The ability of GCs to proliferate and differentiate in the conditions of in vitro culture has been proven. However, there …
Granulosa cells (GCs) have many functions in the endocrine system. Most notably, they produce progesterone following ovulation. However, it has recently been proven that GCs can change their properties when subjected to long‑term culture. I…
Because of the deep involvement of granulosa cells in the processes surrounding the cycles of menstruation and reproduction, there is a great need for a deeper understanding of the ways in which they function during the various stages of th…
