Oregon scientists create fertilizable eggs from human skin cells

apnews.com — September 30, 2025 at 04:01 PM UTC

Oregon scientists created fertilizable eggs from human skin cells, a significant advancement in lab-grown gamete research. The experiment involved replacing the nucleus of an egg cell with one from a skin cell and inducing the cells to discard extra chromosomes before fertilization. While some cells reached the blastocyst stage, chromosomal abnormalities were noted. This research, published Tuesday, offers a proof-of-concept for creating eggs and sperm in a lab, potentially aiding infertile individuals, though human trials are estimated to be a decade away.
