Ovarian Stiffness Is Significantly Increased in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Related With Anti-Mullerian Hormone A Point Shear Wave Elastography Study

Hilmi Erdem Sumbul et al.

Summary: This study found that ovarian tissue stiffness increases in patients with PCOS compared to healthy controls and is closely related to serum AMH levels. Therefore, in addition to conventional ultrasound examinations, pSWE measurement may serve as an auxiliary examination in the follow-up of PCOS patients.

Micromechanical mapping of the intact ovary interior reveals contrasting mechanical roles for follicles and stroma

Thomas I. R. Hopkins et al.

Summary: Follicle development in the ovary is tightly regulated and mechanically influenced, with significant variations in tissue stiffness across different regions. Large developmentally-advanced follicles are found to be mechanically dominant structures in the ovary. This study provides new insights for ovarian biomechanics and follicle tissue engineering.

Building Organs Using Tissue-Specific Microenvironments: Perspectives from a Bioprosthetic Ovary

Nathaniel F. C. Henning et al.

Summary: Recent research has highlighted the significance of the matrisome in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by controlling important processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and migration. In the ovary, the matrisome plays a role in regulating follicle quiescence and folliculogenesis. Utilizing matrisome engineering and new manufacturing processes is essential for emulating tissue structure and composition for various tissue engineering applications.

A blueprint of the topology and mechanics of the human ovary for next-generation bioengineering and diagnosis

Emna Ouni et al.

Summary: Despite the long history of human ovary dissection, the biophysical characteristics of ovarian tissue remain poorly understood. This study reveals a unique biophysical phenotype of reproductive-age tissue, providing insights for designing artificial ovaries and potential applicability to characterizing other organs in physiological or pathological states.
