This work describes a valuable and reproducible method for generating optically clear bovine ovary-derived hydrogels that support in vitro murine follicle growth. These techniques are the foundation in which follicle growth dynamics and matrisome protein composition may be correlated to reveal the influence of matrisome proteins on folliculogenesis.
