Talk Title: Intercellular Communication in the Ovarian Follicle: Strategies and Tools
Description:
The development of a healthy oocyte requires on-going contact and communication with the somatic cells that enclose it within the ovarian follicle. I will discuss how tunneling structures that mediate this essential germ-soma contact become established and functional during oocyte growth and later are disassembled at ovulation to permit fertilization.
