Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat ...

Scientists have successfully created immature human egg-like cells from skin-derived stem cells, a significant step in ...

Scientists have detected microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, the liquid that surrounds an egg in an ovarian follicle. "This is not an isolated finding –– it appears to be quite common," ...

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 ...

Scientists have detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...

Human reproduction requires both male and female gametes. Gametes are special sex cells that contain the genetic information necessary to create a new life. Men produce millions of gametes called ...
