Summary:
Harvard University researchers reported that new stem cell experiments in mice may eventually enable women to harness their own eggs to help fight disease in themselves or their relatives. The scientists generated embryonic stem cells from an unfertilized mouse's egg and were able to select stem cells that were genetic matches for the mother's immune system, so that the cells could grow into new tissue in her body without being rejected and attacked by the immune system as foreign cells.
