development of ovarian follicles within the injected hydrogel led to successful ovulation after subcutaneous implantation. Although our study did not demonstrate oocyte maturation and fertilization, our findings suggest that this approach could serve as a heterotopic artificial ovary, offering a promising solution for fertility preservation in patients with high metastasis risk cancers who cannot undergo conventional treatments. This strategy advances artificial ovary technologies, presenting new possibilities for reproductive health and fertility preservation interventions.
