Using Stem Cells to Reverse Ovarian Failure in Mice
Researchers have successfully used stem cells to reverse ovarian failure in mice caused by chemotherapy and genetic issues. The pluripotent stem cells, when turned into ovarian cells, produced hormones essential for fertility such as estrogen and progesterone. When implanted into mice that had undergone chemotherapy, these stem cells restored fertility, enabling the mice to conceive and give birth. The breakthrough offers hope for developing treatments to reverse infertility in humans.
