Stem Cell Interaction with Somatic Niche May Hold the Key to Fertility Restoration in Cancer Patients by Deepa Bhartiya, Kalpana Sriraman, Seema Parte

“…BMT or transplanted ovarian cortical tissue may help rejuvenate the ovarian niche, which possibly supports differentiation of persisting VSELs resulting in neo-oogenesis and follicular development responsible for successful pregnancies. Postnatal oogenesis in mammalian ovary from VSELs may be exploited for fertility restoration in cancer survivors including those who were earlier deprived of gametes and/or gonadal tissue cryopreservation options.…”
