The impact of culture conditions on early follicle recruitment and growth from human ovarian cortex biopsies in vitro.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a dynamic fluidic culture system on early in vitro folliculogenesis in standardized ovarian cortex biopsies.

Design: Cortical small strips were cultured for 6 days in a conventional static or in a dynamic fluidic culture system.

Setting: University-affiliated laboratory with an associated cryobank facility.
