Park, Y. H., Gong, S. P., Kim, H. Y., Kim, G. A., Choi, J. H., Ahn, J. Y., & Lim, J. M. (2013). Development of a serumāfree defined system employing growth factors for preantral follicle culture. Molecular reproduction and development, 80(9), 725-733. This study was conducted to evaluate if mouse preantral follicles can yield developmentally competent oocytes following culture in serum-free, defined medium. Donor follicles were obtained from 14-day-old B6CBAF1 mice, and cultured in alpha-MEM-Glutamax medium. The authors conclude that serum-free media can be used to optimize ovarian follicle cultures, and the addition of SCF is beneficial for deriving developmentally competent oocytes through follicle culture. The formulation of alpha-MEM-Glutamax is available online --> (https://www.thermofisher.com/nl/en/home/technical-resources/media-formulation.109.html).
