USP25 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Ovarian Granulosa Cells in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Modulating the PI3K/AKT Pathway via Deubiquitinating PTEN

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-related disease related to abnormal folliculogenesis and is a leading cause of infertility worldwide. Inhibition of granulosa cells (GCs) proliferation and increased GCs apoptosis have been identified as the major factors in aberrant fol...
