My dog Stewie and I were in seat 8D, while 12 of my cryopreserved oocytes, four straws of three eggs each, had a window seat further back.

We—my dog Stewie and I—were in seat 8D, while 12 of my cryopreserved oocytes, four straws of three eggs each, had a window seat further back.

Cells that harbored the chromosome change were then injected into oocytes—egg cells.

In a report in the journal Science, published in July, his team reported “the reconstitution of functional follicle structures that are fully capable of supporting oocyte production.”

Take primordial oocytes, cells in the ovaries that can lie dormant for decades before maturing into an egg.
