Relationship between numerous mast cells and early follicular development in neonatal MRL/MpJ mouse ovaries.

In the neonatal mouse ovary, clusters of oocytes called nests break into smaller cysts and subsequently form individual follicles. During this period, we found numerous mast cells in the ovary of MRL/MpJ mice and investigated their appearance and morphology with follicular development. The ovarian m...
