Stem cells put women on fertile ground - by Nature Video

Stem cells from the ovaries of reproductive age women can give rise to cells that appear to be mature oocytes, suggesting that women can produce more eggs than the batch they are born with. The findings, reported in the March 2012 issue of Nature Medicine, open the door to a new generation of assisted fertility treatments.

Ridiculously Amazing!

@ AndrewChan84, bone marrow is so last year. Adipose Stem cells are doing more, have a greater concentration of cells - 1,000,000 versus bone marrow 100,000 - and much easier to harvest. Check out AdiStem's technology and protocols, or visit Ovacells.com and Facebook.

fucking amazing

I found this discovery quite vague also. Although this discovery can help us in other fields of science, the point of this discovery is it aids in human assisted reproduction. That is the way I saw it.

this doesnt necessarily mean that you have an endless supply of eggs..u are looking at the wrong way, cos they would need to be stumulated by the body to do this. Cases of birth defects have been shown unfortunately to increase dramatically as women age , particular in the case of down syndrome due to incorrectly segregated chromosomes. But ignoring that , you ditch him if you are unhappy and find someone who will treat you right :)

This is so liberating. I am going out with his guy thinking that I'm going to be stuck with him for the rest of my life because I am over 30 and want to have a kid before 40 to avoid birth defects. Now I'm going to ditch him because I don't have to worry about my eggs aging. I hate to say it but a lot of women in this world gets married because they are afraid that they wouldn't be able to have children if they find another partner 10 years later.

This IS the best time for canonical science!

[AndrewChan84]

You will always get violent opposition from people who choose not to believe in the truth you've discovered. Now they shirk at the though that ovarian progenitor cells can create new batches of oocytes, and later they will shirk at the tough that pluri-potent adult stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, and will make all sorts of argument to say that it is a recurring phenomena. As science goes closer to proving God, the more they will oppose facts itself!

[AndrewChan84]

The CD-14 pluri-potent adult stem cell formed in the bone marrows, can differentiate into ANY cell including neurons. So it is of no surprise to me that progenitor cells of mere organs can do what they are meant to do anyway.

The key is DIET!
