Theca cell mechanosensing and regulation of follicular extracellular matrix during ovarian follicle development

This study investigates how theca cell mechanosensing and extracellular matrix properties regulate ovarian follicle development in mice.

Analysis of the surface topology of respiratory syncytial virus particles that form on the surface of virus-infected cells.

This study uses electron and atomic force microscopy to image the surface topology of RSV filaments on infected cells, revealing structured domains and glycocalyx involvement.

Critical phenomenon underlies de novo luminogenesis during mammalian follicle development

The paper investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of lumen formation in mammalian follicles, revealing a critical phenomenon involving fluid networks and cell death.

Theca cell mechanics and tissue pressure regulate mammalian ovarian folliculogenesis

This study shows that theca cells regulate ovarian follicle growth through mechanical signaling and tissue pressure, affecting granulosa cell behavior and oocyte development.
