cell stage,» Eggan and his colleagues reasoned, «there's still some
of that stuff in there...» And if they picked the right moment

of the
cell, they might be able to use drugs to temporarily freeze the
cell in the middle

of a micromanipulator to suck
out the embryonic DNA, squirt in DNA from an adult animal, and then kick - start the process
of reprogramming — hours, perhaps even days after an
egg had been fertilized.

To make Dolly, researchers took the nucleus
out of a mature
egg and replaced it with the nucleus from a

of wormy development, making the same larval

eggs out of its body.
The images depict what might be called embryology in flagrante: micrographs
of sperm
cells, trailing accordion - like pleats
of white zags as they streak across a vast blue ocean
of ooplasm; a multihued blastocyst in the process
of hatching
out of the
egg's zona pellucida; and
egg cells with a fringe
of glowing, fate - determining proteins, looking a bit like a solar eclipse inside a
cell.
Working with mice, Lei and Spradling set
out to test their belief that certain undifferentiated germ
cells learn to develop into
eggs very early during their production in the ovary, when germ
cells are found in small clusters
of interconnected sister
cells, all daughters
of the same parent
cell.
If the
cells can be fertilized and develop into viable embryos, and if human ES
cells turn
out to have similar powers, such
cells could allow researchers to get around some
of the expense and ethical questions that arise from using donated
eggs for therapeutic cloning experiments.
Developmental biologist Goro Yoshizaki
of Tokyo University
of Marine Science and Technology in Japan and his colleagues set
out to see whether spermatogonia — male germ
cells that give rise to sperm — might contain a subpopulation
of cells with stem

eggs.

cell lines from the original
egg and in seven
out of eight cases the amount

eggs prior to fertilization, where they also had one aberrant ES
cell line where this occurred (
out of 8).
