FOSL2 regulates gonadotropin-dependent folliculogenesis through feedback amplification of FSH/FSHR signaling

Hongru Shi, Chaoli Chen, Zaohong Ran, Jianning Liao, Zian Wu, Xiaodong Wang, Yongheng Zhao, Wenkai Ke, Bowen Tan, Yun Liu, You‐Qiang Su, Wei Ren, Xiang Li, Changjiu He

This study identifies FOSL2 as a key regulator of FSH/FSHR signaling in folliculogenesis, showing it enhances FSHR transcription and forms a self-amplifying loop critical for reproductive function.

Granulosa cell-layer stiffening prevents the granulosa cells from escaping the post-ovulatory follicle

Xiaodong Wang, Jianning Liao, Hongru Shi, Yongheng Zhao, Wenkai Ke, Hao Wu, Guoshi Liu, Xiang Li, Changjiu He

The paper shows that granulosa cell-layer stiffening, driven by focal adhesion assembly and LH signaling, prevents granulosa cells from escaping the post-ovulatory follicle.
