Meanings of primordial follicle in anglès

Meiosis entry and primordial follicle formation were also measured by EYFP-labeled single-cell RT-PCR.

This observation suggests that endogenous KL is necessary for primordial follicle development in vitro.

Results suggest that KL is necessary and sufficient to induce primordial follicle development and initiate folliculogenesis.

Spontaneous primordial follicle development was completely blocked by ACK-2, a c-kit antibody that blocks KL actions.

What is known already: It has been demonstrated that bFGF enhances primordial follicle development in human ovarian tissue culture.

KL appears to be one of the first factors identified to be involved in the promotion of primordial follicle development.

Many clusters with dormant primordial follicles were also present.

Subsequent histological evaluation of the grafted tissue showed primordial follicles, nearly all stages of developing follicles, as well as large atretic ones.

BRCA gene mutation carriers tended to have a lower number of primordial follicles (P = 0.0002) and lower age at natural menopause than non-carriers.
