Characterization and Significance of Adhesion and Junction-Related Proteins in Mouse Ovarian Follicles
Jocelyn M. Mora,Mark A. Fenwick,Laura Castle,Marianne Baithun,Timothy A. Ryder,Margaret A. Mobberley,Raffaella Carzaniga,Stephen Franks,Kate Hardy +8 more
TL;DR: This study used mouse ovaries and isolated follicles to investigate epithelial junctional complexes and associated molecules, as well as classic epithelial markers, by quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence and identified AJs during GC cuboidalization, highlighting the importance of AJs in regulating initiation of follicle growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cell shape and packing density on granulosa cell proliferation and formation of multiple layers during early follicle development in the ovary.
Patricia Da Silva-Buttkus,Gayani Jayasooriya,Jocelyn M. Mora,Margaret A. Mobberley,Timothy A. Ryder,Marianne Baithun,Jaroslav Stark,Stephen Franks,Kate Hardy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basement membrane and/or theca cells that surround the follicle provide an important confinement for rapidly dividing columnar cells so that they attain maximum packing density, which restricts lateral mitosis and promotes inwardly oriented cell divisions and subsequent multilayering.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the basement membrane and/or theca cells that surround the follicle provide an important confinement for rapidly dividing columnar cells so that they attain maximum packing density, which restricts lateral mitosis and promotes inwardly oriented cell divisions and subsequent multilayering.
