Summary:
For the first time, researchers have grown eggs entirely in a lab dish. Skin-producing cells called fibroblasts from the tip of an adult mouses tail have been reprogrammed to make eggs, Japanese researchers report. Those eggs were fertilized, and when implanted in female mice, grew into six healthy mice. The accomplishment could make it possible to study the formation of eggs-a mysterious process that takes place inside fetuses. If the feat can be repeated with human cells, it could make eggs easily available for research and may eventually lead to infertility treatments.
"Eggs Grown from Mouse Skin Cells" is from the November 12, 2016 issue of Science News.
