Recently, the Novo Nordisk Foundation found the work from post doc Stine Gry Kristensen and colleagues at the Laboratory of Reproductive Biology at Rigshospitalet interesting enough to make a small video and article, which were published on their news site, Sciencenews.dk
Women with ovarian cancer can now get the ovarian removed and later re-inserted, when they wish to have children. As the ovary increases the risk of having cancer again, Danish doctors are the first in the world to remove an already transplanted ovary – after the woman, Susanne Hansen, had given birth to twins. The research shows that the frozen ovary still contained eggs, which means, the woman could have more children.
