Sol-gel immobilized ovarian follicles: Collaboration between two different cell types in hormone production and secretion
The immobilization of mammalian cells within semipermeable matrices which allow retention of viability and functionality has recently attracted research interest. In this study, rat mature ovarian follicles were encapsulated in sol-gel silica matrices for the evaluation of in vitro steroid hormones...
