Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major breakthrough for infertility research. Using a newly developed technique to remove excess chromosomes, a team led by clinical biologist Nuria Marti-Gutierrez of Oregon Health & Science University has created human eggs that can undergo successful fertilization and start to develop …

Mitinori Saitou at Kyoto University first documented in 2018 how his team turned human blood cells into stem cells, which they then transformed into human eggs, but they were too immature to be fertilized to make embryos. US startups Conception Biosciences, Ivy Natal, Gameto, and Ovelle Bio are all working on making eggs or sperm in a lab. But the …

James GallagherHealth and science correspondent OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks US scientists have, for the first time, made early-stage human embryos by manipulating DNA taken from people’s skin cells and then fertilising it with sperm. The technique could overcome infertility due to old age or disease, by using almost any cell in the body as the starting point for life. It could …

Researchers have created human eggs from skin cells, potentially transforming IVF treatment for couples who have no other options. The work is at an early stage but if scientists can perfect the process it would provide genetically related eggs for women who are infertile because of older age, illness or medical treatment. The same procedure could be used to make …

A fossilized skull unearthed in central China over 30 years ago has upended long-standing theories about early human evolution, according to a peer-reviewed study published in Science on September 25. The cranium, dubbed Yunxian 2, was first discovered in 1990 in Hubei province, but its distorted condition kept scientists from fully analyzing it—until now. Thanks to advanced 3D reconstruction techniques, …

A million-year-old skull discovered in China could rewrite the history of human evolution. A new analysis of the skull published in Science suggests that our species may have emerged half a million years earlier than we thought. If so, then that also means we co-existed with Neanderthals for far longer than previously believed. The skull appears to have belonged to …
