Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how FGF2 expression in cumulus cells is regulated by FSH and substances from oocytes during in vitro maturation (IVM) in bovine models.
- The study found that FGF2, when added to IVM, sped up meiotic progress, made it harder to dissociate cumulus cells, and reduced cell death among those cells.
- This research highlights the role of oocytes in regulating FGF2 expression and suggests that FGF2 may enhance the survival and quality of cumulus cells during the maturation process.
