A study conducted by scientists at Harvard Uni concluded that women with fertility issues might be able to produce countless eggs. Not only that but study also suggested that older women could also have baby.
Scientists have claimed to derive stem cells from female ovaries. This development would enable a woman to conceive even after menopause.
It is generally believed that women lose their capability of getting pregnant as they grow older. An arrangement could be made where eggs of a young girl could be store in an account (sort of bank account) and be used later when respective girl becomes woman.
Dr. Jonathan Tilly, Massachusetts General Hospital, has led the study. Dr Tilly has demonstrated his study on Nature Medicine. This can be a major breakthrough for female infertility problems.
At present there is no promising treatment for female infertility. But based on this finding, more research and development can lead to permanent solution of infertility. It is noticed that the stem cells which were kept outside the body could produce eggs on their own.
Most of the couples are confused about time of pregnancy as women have been found reluctant to have kid because of several reasons such as career ambitions and financial instability.
Research Highlights
Dr Tilly and his teammates extracted stem cells from woman ovaries and injected them into germ cells i.e. female eggs (medically known oocytes).
Scientists churned out these stem cells with the help of antibodies which are located on proteins found on peripheral of these cells. The cells were given different color (fluorescent green) for easy monitoring of process which involved those cells.
The cells, combined with ovarian tissues, were grafted below mice skin. After fourteen days the stem cells produced eggs. Some eggs were with fluorescent green color which showed that the eggs were produced by stem cells which were extracted from female ovaries.
Researches in future may reverse biological process.
