A supportive gel capsule has allowed researchers to mature mouse eggs in the lab, which then went on to produce offspring for the first time. If the technique could one day make it possible to freeze immature human eggs in a similar way to sperm, allowing women undergoing cancer treatment to retain eggs to be matured and used in later life
