Biology Of Reproduction December 2008 Highlights (Medical News Today)
SO-What? At the time of birth, mouse ovaries are essentially a bag full of primordial oocytes, around which primordial follicles are forming. This key time in ovarian development establishes the population of oocytes and follicles and instigates evelopment of a cohort of follicles. If follicles fail to form, the result is oocyte demise, yet oocytes are also essential for follicular development.

Role Of Vitamin D In Cancer Therapy Clarified By Study (Medical News Today)
A colon cancer cell isn't a lost cause. Vitamin D can tame the rogue cell by adjusting everything from its gene expression to its cytoskeleton. In the Nov. 17 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, Ordóñez-Morán et al. show that one pathway governs the vitamin's diverse effects. The results help clarify the actions of a molecule that is undergoing clinical trials as a cancer therapy.
