Abstract Protruded from cytomembrane, primary cilium is a widespread cell organelle that can be found in almost all cell
types in Mammalia. Because of its comprehensive requirement in various cellular activities and various functions in
different organs, primary cilium has been a valuable research area of human pathology research since the turn of the
millennium. And the potential application of the interaction between primary cilia and cell cycle regulation may be
the most promising direction as many primary cilium-caused diseases are found to be caused by cell cycle
dysregulation resulted from primary cilia defects. Therefore, a deep understanding of the interaction…

Nuclear regulation of mitochondrial functions during oocyte development

Abstract Mitochondria are important in eukaryotic cells due to their functions in energy production and regulation over
other cellular activities. Oocytes are produced by a long and precisely controlled process, the dysfunction of which leads to
impaired female fertility. As oocytes mature, mitochondria are constantly under the regulation of nuclear genes, the
process of which can be modulated by extracellular signals. Understanding how nuclear genes regulate mitochondrial
functions is important for studying animal reproduction and human fertility. As more and more genes regulating
mitochondrial functions in oocytes are being revealed, new approaches for improving female fertility in both human
and animals…
