A new analysis examines the possibility of using in vitro gametogenesis for human reproduction and its ethical and practical implications. Several groups of people could potentially use IVG for ...

Researchers around the world are working on new reproductive technologies that are straight out of science fiction. But a leading bioethicist believes the question of whether Jews should make use of ...

Recent progress in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) field as well as the establishment of germline stem cell isolation and culture methodologies may provide an in vitro platform for the study ...

In-vitro gametogenesis, or IVG, is a concept that sounds like science fiction but is slowly becoming a real possibility. Imagine creating eggs or sperm from skin cells, all outside the body. It’s a ...

Until recently, the only way to make eggs or sperm was the old-fashioned way: in the ovaries and testes. In the not-too-distant future, it may be possible to use cells from almost any part of the body ...

Sexual reproduction, a common mode of reproduction among numerous species, involves gametogenesis in which offspring are produced through fertilization, conjugation, or mating. In plants and animals, ...

Critical questions need addressing before any clinical use of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), says a new report by a Lancaster University-based research project. The new report by the Future of Human ...
