Transplantation directs oocyte maturation from embryonic stem cells and provides a therapeutic strategy for female infertility
20 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Ten to 15% of couples are infertile, with the most common causes being linked to the production of few or no oocytes or sperm. Yet, our understanding of human germ cell development is poor, at least in part due to the inaccessibility of early stages to genetic and developmental studies.
