Description
Abstract
There has been a long persisting dilemma about potential ovarian stem cells in adult mammalian ovaries, including human, and now there is steadily increasing experimental evidence on their existence. After some previous indirect evidence about the presence of stem cells in adult mouse ovaries, an important breakthrough was made by Zou and his coworkers who successfully established long-persisting pluripotent/multipotent ovarian stem cell lines in neonatal and adult mice, and were followed by some other important studies in mouse and human. Moreover, oocyte-like cells can be developed in vitro from pluripotent stem cells of different origins (embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, fetal skin stem cells, pancreatic stem cells). The aim of this article is to elucidate the fast growing new knowledge on the ovarian stem cells and potential in vitro oogenesis in mammals.
