Description
Summary:Objective Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that seriously affects female fertility. Growing body of evidence has indicated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as promising resources in regenerative medicine. In this study, we treated POI patients with umbilical cord‐derived MSCs (UCMSCs) and then investigated the restoration of ovarian function and clinical outcomes through follow‐ups. Materials and methods Sixty‐one patients diagnosed with POI participated in this study. UCMSCs were isolated and cultured according to GMP standards, and then transplanted to the patients’ ovary by orthotopic injection under the guidance of vaginal ultrasound. We monitored side effects, vital signs and changes in clinical and collected haematological and imaging parameters during the follow‐ups. Results All patients showed normal clinical behaviour without serious side effects or complications relevant to the treatment. Transplantation of UCMSCs rescued the ovarian function of POI patients, as indicated by increased follicular development and improved egg collection. POI patients who experienced shorter amenorrhoea durations (
