Unraveling the Transcriptomic Profiles of Large and Small Donkey Follicles
The <i>EMCN</i> gene in mature donkey follicles regulates <i>FOXO3</i> in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, potentially inhibiting apoptosis in follicular granulosa cells and sustaining follicular development until ovulation. This study provides insights into the mechanisms underlying follicular development in donkeys.
