Israeli and British researchers say they have used human cells successfully to create primordial germ cells that develop into egg and sperm for the first time.
The study, published in the US journal Cell on Wednesday, could provide an insight into fertility problems and early stages of embryonic development.
In the future, it could potentially enable the development of new kinds of reproductive technology.
