Oocyte-derived growth factors promote development of antrum-like structures by porcine cumulus granulosa cells in vitro

Oocytes communicate with the surrounding somatic cells during follicular development. We examined the effects of two oocyte-derived growth factors, growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), on the development of porcine oocyte–cumulus cell complexes (OCCs) in...
