Differentiated Stem Cells Can Kickstart Fertility in Mice
Jonathan Tilly, a reproductive biologist at Northeastern University who was not involved in the study, noted that previous studies had already shown that stem cells can be used to help real and artificial ovaries function.
Boston scientists say they’re a step closer to growing human eggs in the lab Researchers in George Church’s lab at Harvard have made mini ovaries-in-a-dish
“If you’re making an egg to make a baby, the bar for quality is off the charts, because you can’t screw it up,” said Jonathan Tilly, a professor of biology who studies stem cells at Northeastern University.

Some researchers question whether lab-grown eggs can ever be thoroughly tested enough for reproductive purposes. “If you’re making an egg to make a baby, the bar for quality is off the charts, because you can’t screw it up,” said Jonathan Tilly, a professor of biology who studies stem cells at Northeastern University.
