Ovarian Surface Epithelium in Patients with Severe Ovarian Infertility: A Potential Source of Cells Expressing Markers of Pluripotent/Multipotent Stem Cells
Figure 3
Small round cells (arrows)—putative stem cells in the ovarian surface epithelium. (a–d) Among the epithelial cells in the ovarian surface epithelium scrapings (magnification 6,000-times). (e) Among the erythrocytes in a scraped population of cells (magnification 200-times). (Inverted microscope, dic-Nomarski illumination, immersion objective for magnification 6,000-times, and Hoffman illumination for magnification 200-times.) e: epithelial cells, er: erythrocytes.
