Summary:

A procedure that encourages an egg to begin embryo development without being fertilized could suggest a new way to produce stem cells, at least for certain patients. Researchers were able to get stem cells using unfertilized mouse eggs, they report in Thursday's online issue of the journal Science. They are now turning their attention to eggs from people, but several problems remain to be worked out.
