Ddx4+ Oogonial Stem Cells in Postmenopausal Women’s Ovaries: A Controversial, Undefined Role
28 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies support the existence of oogonial stem cells (OSCs) in the ovarian cortex of different mammals, including women.These cells are characterized by small size, membrane expression of DEAD(Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box polypeptide-4 (Ddx4), and stemness properties (such as self-renewal and clonal expansion) as well as the ability to differentiate in vitro into oocyte-like cells. However, the discovery of OSCs...
