    Mitomeiosis: Creating human eggs from skin cells—a breakthrough in infertility

    Breakthrough: mitomeiosis creates eggs from skin cells A US team has published a pioneering study describing a proof‑of‑concept approach that could one day allow infertile people to have biological children. Using a technique dubbed mitomeiosis, researchers turned DNA taken from a skin cell into a functional human egg, which was subsequently fertilised with sperm in…

    Mitomeiosis: Scientists Grow Human Eggs From Skin Cells in Groundbreaking First

    What is mitomeiosis and why it matters? A team of US researchers has reported a proof‑of‑concept technique that could, in the long term, help infertile people have biologically related children. The approach, named mitomeiosis, blends two fundamental cell‑division processes to coax skin cells into behaving like reproductive cells — eggs — capable of being fertilised…

    Mitomeiosis: Scientists Create Human Eggs From Skin Cells

    Overview: a bold step in reproductive science A team of researchers in the United States has reported a proof-of-concept technique they call mitomeiosis. The approach takes DNA from a skin cell and, through a novel manipulation of cell division, creates a functional human egg that can be fertilised with sperm in the lab. In early…
