Schematic illustrations of the 3D spheroid culture of PD-MSCs and the models used to test their effect on ovary function. PD-MSCs isolated from the chorionic plates of human placenta were seeded onto PDMS-based concave microwell arrays for generation of 3D spheroids. For transplantation into ovariectomized rats, spheroidal PD-MSCs and naïve PD-MSCs were directly injected into the remaining ovary. The therapeutic effects of PD-MSCs were assessed by analysis of E2 production and the expression levels of folliculogenesis-related genes.
