Theca cell monolayer co-culture improves oocyte in vitro maturation and subsequent embryo development in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Theca cells (TCs) are essential regulators of both follicular development and regression, as they produce androgens that serve as precursors for granulosa cell aromatization. The present study aimed to examine the effects of TC monolayer co-culture on oocyte in vitro maturation (...
