Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Generating oocytes from cells derived from skin in vitro may provide a valuable model for identifying factors involved in germ cell formation and oocyte differentiation. In addition, the "oocytes" produced could potentially be useful for therapeutic cloning, and thus offer new possibilities for tissue therapy. We recently reported the differentiation of cells derived from porcine fetal skin into cells resembling germ cells and oocytes. A subpopulation of these cells expressed germ cell markers and formed aggregate like oocyte-cumulus complexes that secreted ovarian steroid hormones and responded to gonadotropin stimulation. Some of these aggregates extruded large oocyte-like cells that expressed markers appropriate to oocytes. We now show further evidence of germ cell marker expression during differentiation. We have also compared the oocyte-like cells with natural oocytes for their expression levels of Oct4, growth differentiation factor-9b (GDF9b), the deleted in azoospermia -like (DAZL) gene, vasa, zona pellucida (ZP), and the meiosis marker synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3), and have revealed interesting similarities and differences.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
