AMERICAN scientists have made what appears to be an exciting and important step towards what could eventually become a cure for infertility. The ability to grow human eggs from ovarian stem cells in a laboratory opens up new opportunities to women who are infertile - as a result of cancer treatment, for example - to have children who are biologically their own.
WOMEN’S fertility could be extended for another 12 years after scientists succeeded in growing human eggs in a laboratory from ovarian stem cells, it is claimed today.
The technique, developed by scientists at the University of Tennessee, offers fresh hope to millions of women worldwide seeking fertility treatment.
One possibility of the research is that pre-menopausal ovaries could be revitalised by colonising them with younger stem cells.
