## Contents The matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) plays a role in various physiological processes, including angiogenesis and tissue remodelling. As these processes are essential for the maintenance of ovarian physiology, the aim of the study was to investigate the expression of OPN (mRNA) in

## Abstract In the mouse, oogonia enter the prophase of the first meiotic division and differentiate into oocyte while developing in the fetal ovary. Shortly after birth, all oocytes are arrested in the dictyate stage of late prophase in the developing follicles; a small number of follicles reach t
Appropriate matrix formation, turnover and remodeling in tissue-engineered small diameter vascular conduits are crucial requirements for their long-term patency and function. This complex process requires the deposition and accumulation of extracellular matrix molecules as well as the remodeling of
