Scientists announce to have grown human egg cells to full maturity in the lab in a potential breakthrough for fertility treatment.

Scientists used stem cells to create a model of an embryo in the lab without sperm or egg. The model embryo released the same hormones that trigger positive pregnancy tests. Researchers hope to use ...

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 ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

More successful IVF, egg cells from men, and sperm cells from women? Biotech researchers aim to greatly expand reproductive opportunity. WATCH: New infertility technologies could make the previously ...
