Ovarian gene expression in the absence of FIGLA, an oocyte-specific transcription factor.

BMC developmental biology | 2007

Ovarian folliculogenesis in mammals is a complex process involving interactions between germ and somatic cells. Carefully orchestrated expression of transcription factors, cell adhesion molecules and growth factors are required for success. We have identified a germ-cell specific, basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, FIGLA (Factor In the GermLine, Alpha) and demonstrated its involvement in two independent developmental processes: formation of the primordial follicle and coordinate expression of zona pellucida genes.

Intramural Research Program (tool)

RRID:SCR_012734

A research program of the NIA which focuses on neuroscience, aging biology, and translational gerontology. The central focus of the program's research is understanding age-related changes in physiology and the ability to adapt to environmental stress, and using that understanding to develop insight about the pathophysiology of age-related diseases. The IRP webpage provides access to other NIH resources such as the Biological Biochemical Image Database, the Bioinformatics Portal, and the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
