Scientists Use Stem Cells to Generate Human Eggs in the lab!!!!
This story is about researchers at a General Hospital, in Massachusetts, who claim they have separated stem cells from human ovaries and used them to generate egg cells. The researchers developed healthy human egg cells, using the help of Japanese women who donated reproductive stem cells. From these stem cells, the researchers were able to generate immature egg cells that showed the properties of human eggs. Then, the team placed the stem cells into human ovarian tissue and placed that into mice. After two weeks, these cells generated the proper ovarian structures for producing eggs, as well as egg cells that appeared healthy and ready for fertilization. (DATE OF EVENT IS UNKNOWN) Scientist were trying to prove that it does not matter now if "The conventional line of thinking says that woman can produce only a finite number of egg cells over their lifetimes" (Dillow) Due to this new study, people will not have to think about that thought in their mind.
In addition, I feel very happy about this topic because couples can have children through this new study, new babies will come to our world, and this means that someday our world will have new infertility treatments. This study can help couples massively because some women may not be able to have a baby due to health issues/problems. Also, new babies coming to our world is a good thing, because the population will grow, replacing the ones who die. Next, having new infertility treatments will be beneficial to couples because this study may be more helpful, efficient, and less expensive than the other infertility treatments. To sum up, I feel very happy about this topic because the new study can be very beneficial to people like us, and the world.
