CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. researchers have used a controversial cloning technique to make new, healthy, perfectly matched stem cells from the skin of patients with mitochondrial diseases in a first ...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Without debate, Louisiana's state Senate has voted to forbid government funding of efforts to perform what is often called "therapeutic cloning" to develop embryonic stem ...

On April 10, the European Parliament, in its first reading of the Tissues and Cells Directive (the Directive), voted in favour of a ban on the creation of human embryos for research purposes including ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

Human embryos have been developed from eggs given the DNA of adult skin cells – a feat that had previously been achieved in mice. This could one day provide a way for same-sex couples or women with ...

The ability to create egg cells from human skin represents one of the most extraordinary frontiers in reproductive science. Researchers are exploring how to reprogramme ordinary body cells into viable ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...
