Molecular analysis of the effects of steroid hormones on mouse meiotic prophase I progression

Abstract Background Infertility is linked to depletion of the primordial follicle pool consisting of individual oocytes arrested at the diplotene stage of meiotic prophase I surrounded by granulosa cells. Primordial germ cells, the oocyte precursors, begin to differentiate during embryonic developme...
