The breakthrough discovery could revolutionize fertility treatment.
Researchers in the U.S. were able to isolate stem cells in a laboratory where they ‘spontaneously generated’ eggs which they say are capable of being fertilized.

A ground-breaking study that may change how heart attacks are treated.
When a person has a heart attack a piece of muscle in a person’s heart dies from lack of blood flow , it scars over and is lost. But a team of researchers from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles has proven that those muscles may not necessarily be gone forever.

An image released by Karolinska University Hospital shows part of the operation.
The world’s first transplant of a fully synthetic organ has been carried out by surgeons – a windpipe created using the patient’s stem cells and an artificial “scaffold”. A month ago a 36-year-old cancer patient received the organ at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm.
The discovery raises the prospects of drugs, lotions or shampoos that raise levels of wnt – and restore white or grey hair to its natural color.
Scientists have got to the root of grey hair – paving the way for locks that retain the luster of their youth well into old age.

Taking the pill when a heart attack occurs, the muscles and blood vessels around the organ could rebuild themselves.
Researchers in Britain claim they may be just a decade away from perfecting a way to persuade the heart to rejuvenate – a process thought to be impossible just five years ago. They have developed a pill that triggers the heart to repair itself after an attack and is a major step towards one of the “holy grails” of medical research.
The chemical which summons stem cells from bone marrow to the site of a wound has been discovered by scientists in the UK and Japan.
The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, identified the distress signal – HMGB1.
The authors believe it can be used to put “a megaphone in the system” to improve the treatment of injuries such as burns and leg ulcers…
