Abstract
Because of these potential applications, the goal of the current study was to further characterize the signaling pathways that regulate normal follicle development. The compound under investigation is glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). GDNF is primarily involved in neuron survival and repair, however, GDNF and its receptors are also expressed in the ovary. The current research was designed to determine whether glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) participates in the network of cell-cell signaling interactions that regulates primordial follicle development.
