“…For example, at the cellular level, object segmentation has been applied to study germ cells, by segmenting individual oocytes from 3D images of perinatal mouse and adult medaka ovaries, as well as germ cells in the fetal mouse testis [ 80 , 86 , 93 , 118 , 119 ]. Larger scale object segmentation has been applied to (1) groups of cells to investigate uterine gland architecture, testis cord morphogenesis, and epididymis vasculature [ 51 , 71 , 75 , 90 , 120 , 121 ]; (2) systemic networks to investigate vasculature, innervation, and lymphatics [ 69 , 75 , 77 , 103 ]; and (3) whole organs to investigate mouse ovary and testis morphogenesis and developing gonads in the context of the whole embryo [ 15 , 51 , 78 , 79 ].…”
