Breakthrough in Fertility Treatment Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery, finding a way to fertilize eggs using the genetic material of human skin cells.

This is referred to as somatic cell nuclear transfer. However, the cells produced through this method would normally have too many chromosomes, making them unsuitable for fertilization. Overcoming…
