DOI: 10.1002/mrd.23285
Abstract: The release of a fertilizable oocyte from the ovary is dependent upon the expansion of the cumulus cells. The expansion requires cooperation between epidermal growth factor (EGF) family peptide‐activated mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK)3/1 and oocyte… read more here.

Abstract: Cumulus expansion is necessary for the release of a fertilizable oocyte from the ovary, which is critical for the normal fertilization of mammals. Cumulus expansion requires cooperation between epidermal growth factor (EGF)‐like growth factors and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2020.111121
Abstract: Cumulus expansion is essential for ovulation and oocyte maturation in mammals. Previous studies suggest that this process requires certain cumulus expansion enabling factors, induced by LH surge, that activate SMAD signaling locally. However, their identities… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.625036
Abstract: The Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CASR) is a G protein-coupled receptor of the C family that reportedly promotes maturation of porcine oocytes. However, its role in cumulus expansion of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) is not well known. This… read more here.
