Expression of Pluripotency and Oocyte-Related Genes in Single Putative Stem Cells from Human Adult Ovarian Surface Epithelium Cultured In Vitro in the Presence of Follicular Fluid
Figure 1
Histology of ovarian sections after haematoxylin-eosin (he) and cytokeratin (ck) stainings in patients (P1, P2, P3, and P4) with POF. It confirmed no naturally present follicles or oocytes in their ovarian cortex, except for primordial follicles in P3. In P5 the histology has been performed in another medical institution. (inverted microscope, Hoffman, magnification 40/100x.) Legend: OSE: ovarian surface epithelium (brown stained), PF: primordial follicle.
