Figure 7From: Comparison of the developmental potential of 2-week-old preantral follicles derived from vitrified ovarian tissue slices, vitrified whole ovaries and vitrified/transplanted newborn mouse ovaries using the metal surface methodGranulosa outgrowth and antral-like cavity formation of cultured vitrified-thawed preantral follicles. Vitrified-thawed preantral follicles (from 14-day old mouse) cultured in vitro for 12 days: Vitrified-thawed preantral follicles (A) had just been isolated, cultured for 3 days (B), cultured for 6 days with granulosa outgrowth (C) (bar = 100 um). Antral-like cavity formation (D-H) (bar = 100 um) with different antral stages and ovulated oocyte (I) with nearby granulosa cells were observed.Back to article page
