The number of follicles is preserved until the resumption of meiosis at puberty and there is no renewal of the oocytes; this dogma was maintained in the last century because there were no suitable techniques to detect and obtain stem cells. However, following stem cell markers, several scientists have detected them in developing and adult human ovarian tissues, especially in the ovarian surface epithelial cells. Furthermore, many authors using different methodological strategies have indicated this possibility. This evidence has led many scientists to explore this hypothesis; there is no definitive consensus to accept this idea.
