“…Historically, studies have been complicated by inaccessibility of the organ of interest (fetal ovary), limited sample inputs, and limited ability to faithfully maintain the necessary systems in vitro. In the last decade, however, new technologies have been developed to maintain ovaries in long‐term, 3D culture (Laronda et al, 2017); to utilize microfluidics, or “ovary‐on‐a‐chip,” systems to mimic the physiological environment of a developing ovary (Aziz et al, 2017; A. N. Young, Moyle‐Heyrman, Kim, & Burdette, 2017); and to differentiate gametes in vitro from induced stem cell progenitors (Hikabe et al, 2016; Miyauchi, Ohta, & Saitou, 2018). All of these techniques have allowed for better manipulation of a challenging system, and greater statistical power of results.…”
