The mammalian ovary from genesis to revelation. (2009, background): “Putative precursor lesions are hypothesized to originate in OSE-lined clefts and inclusion cysts in the ovarian cortex, two irregular morphological structures that become more prevalent with age (470, 471, 475).”
Stem and progenitor-like cells contribute to the aggressive behavior of human epithelial ovarian cancer. (2005, background): “These expression patterns indicate the mesothelial nature of thecells(10)—whichisinagreementwiththecurrentunderstanding of epithelial ovarian carcinoma resulting from the transformation of a primitive mesothelium, i.e., the ovarian surface epithelium ( 11 ).”
Identification and characterization of ovarian cancer-initiating cells from primary human tumors. (2008, background): “To further suggest an OSE origin for OCICs, we note that the OSE, embryonically derived from the coelomic lining, remains relatively less differentiated than other tissue epithelia (2, 48).”
