Figla promotes secondary follicle growth in mature mice

Abstract The in vitro growth (IVG) of human follicles is a potential fertility option for women for whom cryopreserved ovarian tissues cannot be transplanted due to the risk of cancer cell reintroduction; however, there is currently no established method. Furthermore, optimal IVG conditions may diff...
