Are ovarian stem cells always accompanied by very small embryonic-like stem cells in adult mammalian ovary?
VSELs have remained poorly studied till now because of their very small size and rare occurrence. Spinning cells obtained after enzymatic digestion of ovarian tissue at a speed of 1000G (rather than 1200 rpm) throughout processing allows reliable detection of the VSELs by flow cytometry. VSELs exist in aged, chemoablated and non-functional ovary and providing a healthy niche to support their function offers an interesting strategy to manage infertility.
Radiographer delivered fluoroscopy could reduce the patient's exposure to ionising radiation for some urological procedures.
