Summary:

Scientists may have found a way to make embryonic stem cells from unfertilized eggs -- at least in mice. "This technique, if proven effective in humans, offers an efficient way of generating customized stem cells lines from women," lead researcher George Daley, MD, PhD. says in a Children's Hospital Boston news release.
