Abstract
The oogonia stem cells (OSCs) are the founding female germ stem cells that differentiate into oogonia and oocytes. The OSCs serve as the carrier of genetic information from mother to offspring. The insights from intraovarian transplantation in experimental animals reveal the capacity of OSCs to generate functional oocytes that can be fertilized and support fetal development and birth of offspring.
Highlights
-
The OSCs are the founding unipotent female germ stem cells
-
They generate oogonia and oocytes that can produce viable offspring.
