It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis." This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oregon scientists used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a step in the quest to develop ...

The day when human sperm and eggs can be grown in the laboratory has inched a step closer, with the discovery of a way to recreate a crucial developmental step in a dish 1. “Epigenetic reprogramming ...

The embryos weren’t used to try to establish a pregnancy, but the researchers behind the technique say it could one day be ...

An emerging process, known as in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), involves reprogramming skin cells to become a type of stem cell ...

An emerging process, known as in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), involves reprogramming skin cells to become a type of stem cell. It involves taking the nucleus – the control centre of the cell which ...

Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
