First baby from lab-matured egg
The first baby created from an egg matured in the lab, frozen, thawed and then fertilized, has been born.
Until now it was not known whether eggs obtained in this way could survive thawing to be fertilized.
The advance spares women from taking risky fertility drugs that can cause a rare, yet deadly condition - ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
Canadian researchers told a fertility conference in Lyon three others were expecting babies by the same process.
The findings hold particular hope for patients with cancer-related fertility problems.
