Cell Death in Mammalian Ovary

Cell Death in Mammalian Ovary

Cell Death in Mammalian Ovary provides a specialized overview of programmed cell death, apoptosis, and autophagy in mammalian ovarian development and function. It examines cell death in ovarian somatic cells and oocytes at cytological, physiological, and molecular levels, including follicular atresia, luteal regression, environmental and therapeutic effects, ovarian disease, and the molecular pathways regulating cell survival and death.
