Investigating follicle development using in vitro technologies by Lo, B

“…Broadly, ROs generated from both P2 and P6 exhibited similar follicle development <em>in vitro</em> after 14 d of culture, and follicles from cultured ROs were more developed than those from transplanted ROs. Theca cell development observed in follicles from cultured ovaries was still poorer than those from <em>in vivo</em> ovaries, even when ovaries were cultured in mouse serum or encapsulated in a hyaluronan hydrogel. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue

“…An obvious low-velocity layer (LVL) atop the MTZ with an average thickness of ∼40 km is observed beneath this study area, indicating the hydrous partial molten layer atop the D410 and a hydrous MTZ. The D410 depth of ∼410 km and the LVL up to ∼60 km thick beneath the Dariganga volcano imply that there is a chemically distinct hydrous upwelling related to the subducted Pacific slab rather than a classic thermal-dominated upwelling. …”
