“In a handful of laboratories around the world, researchers are working on a radical new fertility option for women: an artificial ovary.
The idea is that by beginning with just a tiny piece of tissue, scientists could grow a whole new organ and then implant it to replace an ovary that’s faulty. Or they could give an ovary to someone who wasn’t born with one and takes hormones instead—say, a transgender woman. It could also become an alternative way of delivering hormones for menopausal women and others who take hormones. It might even reverse menopause.”
