    Varied follicle growth buffers egg cell lifespans in mice

    Using lineage tracing across the lifespan of female mice, researchers mapped how secondary follicles regulate the survival of activated egg cells to support long-term…Using lineage tracing across the lifespan of female mice, researchers mapped how secondary follicles regulate the survival of activated egg cells to support long-term fertility.
