Scientists for the first time can turn blood cells into egg cells in humans

In the future, humans can create egg cells right from the cells available in the human body. This opens up fertility opportunities for everyone, even those who are infertile or transgender.

In 1924, an eccentric biologist named JBS Haldane predicted that more than 70% of babies would be created from artificial wombs in 2074. He even named this process ectogenesis ( temporary understanding is reproduction in artificial environments outside the human body) .

This is the first event in the world that scientists have created egg cells from blood cells.

This may sound unreasonable, but a group of scientists at Kyoto University, Japan, soon turned that idea into reality. According to IFLScience, biologist Mitinori Saitou and colleagues recently published a new study in Science Mag, explaining exactly how they created immature oocytes from blood cells. This is the first event in the medical world and in the world.

To do so, the team extracted human blood cells and turned them into pluripotent stem cells, capable of transforming into any other type of cell. Later, they were introduced into miniature artificial ovaries in the laboratory using cells from mouse embryos.

During the laboratory period, cells developed into oogonia , a precursor state of mature eggs.

Hank Greely, a biologist at Stanford University in the US, said: "If we can make human eggs and sperm from skin cells, it will open the opportunity to change how humans reproduce."

This is a great step forward in the medical industry, promising to open up fertility opportunities and create babies right in the laboratory environment. Of course, there is still much to do to avoid all risks and above all, there must be a moral code that is widely accepted.

This technology will be a great lifeline for couples infertile, gay, transgender, .

While the benefit of the technology to transform normal cells into egg cells is not controversial, because it will be a great endeavor for infertile couples, homosexuals, transgender people, etc. posed questions about the risk of stealing someone's DNA or giving birth to a baby without the consent of the person for DNA.

Dartmouth biologist Robert Green said the idea behind cell transformation could help rebuild a baby, the elderly have died.

He also said: "A woman may want to have a child with a famous person. And if he sells his hair. We may see a descendant as a copy of that person. but in fact they are not born of human consent for DNA ".

Currently, egg cells are made from blood cells that are still too immature and not mature enough to form babies if fertilized. Researchers expect to soon find a way to nourish oocytes quickly to mature so that fertilization takes place more smoothly.
