Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is no information regarding the presence of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors in human ovaries. The expression of PDGF-A, -B and their two receptors, PDGFR-alpha and -beta, was investigated in ovarian samples from women/girls and from human fetuses, at the protein and mRNA levels. The samples were prepared for immunohistochemical staining for PDGF-A and -B and their two receptors and in situ hybridization for the detection of the mRNA transcripts of the receptors. Total RNA was extracted from frozen ovarian samples, and the expression of PDGF-A and -B was investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The proteins for PDGF-A and -B were detected in oocytes, and in granulosa cells (GC) of 50% of the follicles from women/girls. The proteins and mRNA transcripts for the two receptors were detected in oocytes (mRNA for PDGFR-beta only in 25% of the oocytes). PDGFR-alpha mRNA was expressed in GC of a minority of the samples from women/girls, whereas PDGFR-beta protein and mRNA were identified in over 50% of the GC from this source. PDGF-A and -B transcripts were identified in all the extracts. The presence of the receptors in GC suggests that PDGFs might be involved in the activation of primordial follicles.

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.
