Researchers have succeeded in creating transplantable artificial ovaries. A protein formulation based on fibrin has been identified and it resembles the architecture and rigidity of human ovarian tissue. This could be used for ovary transplant according to the researchers. The findings were recently published in the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics.
These artificial ovaries could be extremely useful in women struggling with infertility or cancer patients who cannot conceive after undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. What could be the limitations of using these artificial ovaries?
