Objective: To create an artificial ovary to provide an alternative way of restoring fertility in patients who cannot benefit from transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue due to the threat of reintroducing malignant cells.Design: In vivo experimental study.Setting: Gynecology research unit in a university hospital.Animal(s): Six-week-old female NMRI mice.Intervention(s): Autografting of isolated preantral follicles and ovarian cells (OCs) encapsulated in two fibrin matrices containing low concentrations of fibrinogen (F; mg/mL) and thrombin (T;IU/mL): F12.5/T1 and F25/T4.Main Outcome Measure(s): Follicular density and development, OC survival and proliferation, inflammatory response, and vascularization.Result(s): After 1 week, the follicle recovery rate ranged from 30.8% (F25/T4) to 31.8% (F12.5/T1). With both fibrin formulations, all follicles were found to be alive or minimally damaged, as demonstrated by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase- mediated dUTP nickend labeling assay, and at the growing stage (primary, secondary, and antral follicles), confirmed by Ki67 immunostaining. Isolated OCs also survived and proliferated after grafting, as evidenced by
