For decades, donated eggs or sperm have been the mainstay of infertility treatments, leaving many hopeful parents without a ...

Recently, a research team set out to derive human haploid neural stem cells (haNSCs) to carry out lineage-specific screens. The research is published in the World Journal of Stem Cells. Human ...

Researchers have manipulated chromosomes inside a stem cell to produce mice with two biologically male parents. Stem cell biologist Katsuhiko Hayashi of Japan's Osaka University and his team say ...

Seven mice have been born using a process that involves turning male cells into egg cells and then fertilising them with sperm. The technique could one day allow two men in a same-sex couple to ...

Cells with the potential to form sperm and eggs have been derived from northern white rhino skin cells, raising hopes that lab-grown embryos could save the animals from extinction. The only two ...

Scientists might soon be able to create eggs and sperm from skin and blood cells. What will that mean? The way we make babies could be about to change. Maybe. An embryo forms when sperm meets egg.

These findings have been reported in Nature Communications. In this study, the researchers investigated gamete stability in the egg cells of a nematode worm model, called C. elegans. Under normal ...

Cells in gametophytes, the mating body type, have a single complement of chromosomes—a state known as being “haploid”, which is also seen in the eggs and sperm of animals. It is the process ...

And so they have long sought haploid embryonic stem cells, which can become any kind of tissue but contain just one set of genes, like a sperm or egg. This year, a team led by the Hebrew University of ...

have identified chemical compounds that increase the stability of mammalian haploid cell lines. The study is published in the latest issue of Cell Reports. With the exception of sperm and egg ...

Since female mammals are born with a limited number of egg cells, most of the egg cells wait in a dormant state before maturing later in life to ensure a long period of fertility. However ...
