In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells. When you ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major breakthrough for infertility research. Using a newly developed technique to ...

Human skin cells have been used to produce fertilizable eggs in a proof-of-concept study that heralds a potential new approach to infertility treatment. While much more research is needed to know how ...

A groundbreaking experiment transforms skin cells into egg-like cells, offering hope for infertility treatments amidst ...

One hallmark of many biological processes is cellular phenotypic heterogeneity. Now, a new deep learning method—AINU (artificial intelligence [AI] of the nucleus)—can identify specific nuclear ...
