Mammalian oocytes receive maternal-effect RNAs from granulosa cells

Caroline A. Doherty, Abdulfatai Tijjani, Steven C. Munger, Diana J. Laird

The paper shows that growing mouse oocytes receive mRNAs from granulosa cells, which are enriched for transcripts important for oocyte maturation and early embryo development.
