The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

(BOSTON) — More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care ...

Scientists have successfully created immature human egg-like cells from skin-derived stem cells, a significant step in reproductive science. This breakthrough offers hope for infertility treatments, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning skin cells into eggs capable of producing early human ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

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 ...

Neil Hunter, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, has discovered a crucial step in how chromosomes stay connected during the development for egg cells and sperm, ...

A microscopic structure in mammalian egg cells called a meiotic spindle has one crucial job—and during egg maturation, it has only a few hours to do it properly. What happens in those few hours has ...
