Caption

A diagram of the production of ovarian follicle structures and oocytes from mouse stem cells. Primordial germ cell–like cells generate the oocyte, and the fetal ovarian somatic cell–like cells produce the supporting cells. The two aggregated cells produce the follicle structure that is critical for the oocyte to mature into an egg cell.
