Scientists have successfully created human eggs in the lab using skin cells and a novel technique called 'mitomeiosis,' which could eventually help infertile women and enable gay couples to have genetically related children, though significant ethical and technical challenges remain.
Scientists have successfully produced functional human eggs from skin cells in the lab, which can be fertilized to form early-stage embryos, potentially offering new fertility treatments, though significant technical and ethical challenges remain.
Research shows tiny plastic particles are present in human reproductive fluids, including eggs and sperm, raising concerns about potential impacts on fertility and hormonal balance, with further studies needed to establish causation and explore mitigation strategies.
