TL;DR

Findings establish DHX36 as a maternal regulator that links oocyte intrinsic homeostasis to intercellular communication, suggesting that DHX36-dependent maintenance of membrane and organelle integrity is essential for OSF delivery, cumulus cell function, antral follicle development, and ovulation.
