Three-dimensional architecture of granulosa cell derived from oocyte cumulus complex, revealed by FIB-SEM

Abstract The oocyte cumulus complex is mainly composed of an oocyte, the perivitelline space, zona pellucida and numerous granulosa cells. The cumulus granulosa cells (cGCs) provide a particularly important microenvironment for oocyte development, regulating its growth, maturation and meiosis. In th...
