DESCRIPTION:The maturation of functional eggs in the ovaries is a critical
  process during reproduction. However\, the underlying mechanisms driving 
 follicle growth remain enigmatic. In this talk\, I will present new findin
 gs that the contractile surface cells of follicles can exert compressive s
 tress to impact oocyte signalling and follicle growth\, and regulate folli
 cle growth competition in assemblies. I will also report the role of cell 
 death and interfacial tension in driving critical behavior of luminogenesi
 s during follicle development. Our studies highlight the importance of mec
 hanical stress and hydraulics in ovarian dynamics\, and the need of a biop
 hysical approach to understand these fundamental stage of reproduction.\nS
