Scientists create human eggs from skin cells

Scientists have created human eggs from skin cells, a breakthrough that could help women with infertility have genetically related children. The process involves transferring the nucleus from a skin cell into an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed. Researchers developed a new method called mitomeiosis to correct the extra set of chromosomes found in skin cells. While promising, the research is in its early stages with low success rates. Clinical application is estimated to be at least a decade away, pending further research and ethical considerations.
