- For the first time, scientists have created baby mice from two males.
- They took skin cells from the tails of male mice and transformed them into “induced pluripotent stem cells’’.
- Then, they converted male mouse stem cells into female cells and produced functional egg cells.
- Finally, they fertilized those eggs and implanted the embryos into female mice.
- About 1% of the embryos – 7 out of 630 – grew into live mouse pups.
- So, the applicability of this technique to humans is very uncertain.
