Women in their 60s and 70s could theoretically one day give birth to genetically related children, according to scientists pioneering a breakthrough technique that converts DNA from skin cells into ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

'We're not quite at the level where the robotic skin is as good as human skin, but we think it's better than anything else out there at the moment.' Image: Dr. David Hardman, University of Cambridge ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have achieved a scientific first: transforming human skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab. Their study, published Tuesday in Nature ...

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 ...

Scientists said Tuesday they have turned human skin cells into eggs and fertilized them with sperm in the lab for the first time—a breakthrough that is hoped to one day let infertile people have ...

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 a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists report that they have produced functional human eggs in the lab that were able to be fertilized ...

Humanoid robots are starting to gain something that once belonged firmly in the realm of science fiction: a sense of pain.

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oregon scientists used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a step in the quest to develop lab-grown eggs or sperm to one day help people conceive. California homeowner ...
