Cumulus Cell Expansion, Its Role in Oocyte Biology and Perspectives of Measurement: A Review
Cumulus expansion of the cumulus-oocyte complex is necessary for meiotic maturation and acquiring developmental competence. Cumulus expansion is based on extracellular matrix synthesis by cumulus cells. Hyaluronic acid is the most abundant component of this extracellular matrix. Cumulus expansion ta...
