Could your skin hold the key to creating life? Scientists turn human skin cells into eggs in groundbreaking study
US researchers successfully created early-stage human embryos from adult skin cells, bypassing traditional egg cells through advanced DNA manipulation. This groundbreaking OHSU study, mirroring cloning techniques, generated functional eggs that developed into early embryos. The innovation offers significant hope for infertility and same-sex couples, despite current low success rates and ethical considerations requiring further refinement.
