Description

The cumulus cells niche that surrounds the oocyte is essential for its maturation and presumably for the oocyte to acquire its competence to confer pluripotency. The cells cultured from the human oocyte cumulus niche (hCC) could be used as feeders for the propagation of human pluripotent stem cells in vitro.
