Multiple news sources reported a new technique that could bring new hope for women of infertility. In a laboratory study, scientists were able to harvest immature cells from women’s ovaries and grow them outside the body. The technique could improve fertility treatments for women undergoing chemotherapy, but critics said the technology is in its infancy and much more work is needed. The study is published in the journal Human Reproduction.
