Scientists have developed functional eggs from ordinary human skin cells, a proof of concept that could open up new ways to treat infertility.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oregon scientists used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a step in the quest to develop lab-grown eggs or sperm to one day help people conceive.

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a proof of concept for now.

Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat infertility and enable gay couples to have genetically related children.

Scientists are working to create human eggs in a laboratory dish, but the process is proving to be more challenging than expected.
