Figure 1

Ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) histology and oocyte-like cells developing among putative stem cells in the OSE culture. (A) OSE layer with no follicles and oocytes in the ovarian cortex (COR) after Masson’s trichrome staining of the ovarian section (light microscope, magnification 40×). (B, C) Different types of cells including erythrocyte (E), fibroblast (F), oocyte-like cells ((O), 10 – 15 μm) (inverted microscope, 400). (D) Oocyte-like cell (10 μm) developing in close contact with putative stem cells (PSC) and fibroblasts on day 7 of culture (inverted microscope, 400).
