With careful observation and experiments with mouse oocytes, the precursors of eggs, they've detected molecular signals that create an asymmetry in the machinery that drives meiosis, the cell - division process that gives rise to gametes.

The team also found that in older mice, the cells surrounding the egg produced fewer feeding tubes.

Before birth, mouse and human ovaries contain an abundant supply of germ cells, some of which will develop into the eggs that will ultimately be released from follicles during ovulation.

The scaffold supports the survival of the mouse's immature egg cells and the cells that produce hormones to boost production.

The open structure also allows room for the egg cells to mature and ovulate, as well as blood vessels to form within the implant enabling the hormones to circulate within the mouse bloodstream and trigger lactation after giving birth.
