This paper develops microporous immune-isolating capsules that restore dynamic hormone signaling in a mouse model of premature ovarian insufficiency by enabling size-selective diffusion of hormones.

This study shows that encapsulated human ovarian xenografts restore endocrine function in ovariectomized mice, integrating with the host's hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and maintaining cyclicity and hormone levels.

This study shows that MAP hydrogel encapsulation improves revascularization and endocrine function of transplanted ovarian tissue in a mouse model of primary ovarian insufficiency.

This study transplants different-sex gonads into adult mice to assess their integration into the HPG axis, finding gonad- and sex-dependent gene expression patterns and steroidogenesis.
