Stem cell-derived sperm have been a long-pursued goal. Now researchers have produced spermatogonia-like cells that resemble those found in the testes after birth.

In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) holds much potential for same-sex couples and women of a more advanced age struggling with infertility, but the question is whether we’re quite there yet. On the hope that ...

For all of human history, reproduction has relied on a simple biological formula. Sperm meets egg. They fuse, they divide, and nine months later, a baby arrives. Now, scientists are taking control of ...
