Scientists have turned DNA from human skin cells into "functional" eggs that are capable of producing early human embryos, according to a new study that cautions more research is needed as they're not ...

From cancer biology to proactive health management, customized care is changing patient outcomes, but what are the costs and accessibility challenges?

US scientists have, for the first time, made human embryos using DNA from skin cells and sperm. This new technique could help people with infertility and allow same-sex couples to have genetically ...

Human skin cells may one day be used to create functional human eggs in a step toward helping women have their own genetic children when their natural eggs are dysfunctional, according to very early ...

Across a Swiss meadow and into its forested edges, the drone dragged a jumbo-size cotton swab from a 13-foot tether. Along its path, the moistened swab collected scraps of life: some combination of ...

"RUBY"—a cost-effective innovation designed to track gene activity—is proving valuable across a range of fields. It all started with the idea of finding a better way to monitor genes.

It's time for another round of listener Q&A. Join us as we tackle audience questions about the genetic drivers of heart disease and the problem of specialization in medicine on the Science Dispatch ...

More work needs to be done to create viable human embryos, but the method might someday be used in IVF to help infertile people and male couples.

An innovative use of skin cells could provide a route for gay couples or women with fertility problems to have children they are both genetically related to ...

Professor Yunde Zhao dissects a RUBY flower of a thale cress (right, Arabidopsis thaliana), a small plant in the mustard family used as a model for genetic manipulations. A benthi plant (left, ...

A reproductive medicine professor described the work as an “exciting proof of concept” that may change approaches to infertility.

Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to treat infertility.
