Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

For the first time, scientists have created fertilizable human eggs from skin cells—an advance that the researchers say could pave the way for new infertility treatments, though the technology remains ...

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a proof of concept for now. Reading time 3 minutes A team of scientists has ...

This undated image provided by the Mitalipov Laboratory at Oregon Health & Science University shows a a microscope image of a human egg that contains a nucleus taken from a skin cell. (Mitalipov ...

Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...

Scientists have created human eggs in the lab using a similar process to the one used to clone the famous Dolly the sheep, then used in vitro fertilization (IVF) to turn them into embryos. Although ...

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

The method could one day become a treatment for infertility A decade of further research needed, scientists say The process overcomes an obstacle that stymied previous attempts Significant safety ...

This image shows a human egg after its original DNA has been replaced with DNA from an adult skin cell. (Mitalipov laboratory) Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells ...
