Caption

A microscopy image of the outer region of the rhesus macaque ovary. The developing egg cells are marked by VASA protein (green) and surrounded by supporting granulosa cells marked by FOXL2 (magenta) and KRT19 (yellow). Together, these form follicles — the functional unit of the ovary that make up the ovarian reserve.
