Highlights
  • Experts from Oregon Health and Science University created fertilizable eggs from human skin cells for the very first time, marking a breakthrough in IVG.
  • In tests, researchers produced 82 functional eggs, fertilised them in the lab, and about nine percent reached the blastocyst stage but none survived beyond day six.
  • The study introduces mitomeiosis, a technique to half the chromosome number, as researchers work toward perfecting it for safe future use.
