Selecting theca and granulosa cells from removed ovaries of BRCA1/2mut patients undergoing Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) and developing a 3D bioprinted hormone-producing bioprosthetic model. If efficacy and tolerability are confirmed in vivo, this bioprosthetic model might be used to replace hormones' production in BRCA mutated patients undergoing prophylactic surgery.
