Representative histological sections illustrating the appearance of fresh control ovaries (A) and transplanted ovaries (B,C). Retained ovarian stromal structure, intact blood vessels and follicles from primordial to antral developmental stages were evident in the surviving transplanted ovaries (B, 4-week old transplant); fibrotic stromal tissue, the presence of inflammatory cells and damaged, absent follicles, or both, were evident in the failed transplants (C) (n = 4). Scale bar = 100 µm.
