Oct 01, 2025 09:20 am CST

Scientists have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by transforming human skin cells into eggs and successfully fertilizing them with sperm in laboratory conditions. This revolutionary technology, called in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG), could potentially help infertile individuals, including older women and same-sex couples, have genetically related children. While still years away from clinical application, this advancement represents a significant step forward in reproductive medicine and could fundamentally transform our understanding of infertility.
