Researchers are inching closer to mass-producing eggs and sperm in the lab from ordinary human cells. The technique could provide new ways to treat infertility but also open a Pandora's box. We are ...

Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into synthetic uterine tissue—revealing a key stage in reproduction. The resulting ...

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 used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

In the intricate science of reproduction, the creation of offspring has long relied on the union of sperm and eggs, whether naturally or through assisted techniques like in vitro fertilization. Both ...

Kolhapur: Padma Rekha Jirge, a specialist in reproductive medicine and infertility from Kolhapur, earned major international ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

Scientists are getting closer to the possibility of making a new person from skin or blood cells – without the need for sex. This approach goes well beyond in vitro fertilization, which combines egg ...

This workshop will explore the in vitro derivation of human gametes (eggs and sperm) from stem cells. Sessions will consider scientific and clinical goals motivating research in this field, technical ...
