Treatment of Exogenous GDF9 and BMP15 during In vitro Maturation of Oocytes increases the Cell Number of Blastocysts in Pigs

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) are oocyte-specific growth factors that regulate many critical processes involved in early folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation. In this study, effects of GDF9 and BMP15 treatment during in vitro maturation of porcine...
