George Church lab creates functional ovary tissue from adult human stem cells
Summary: Researchers at Harvard University have successfully directed the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into functional ovarian granulosa-like cells. By overexpressing two transcription factors, the team generated granulosa-like cells with transcriptomes similar to human fetal ovarian cells. These cells formed ovary-like organoids and supported the development of human primordial germ cell-like cells. This model system could enable the study of human ovarian biology and the development of therapies for female reproductive health.
