• Resumen

  • It's time to turn back the biological clock. Next year could see the first post-menopausal woman give birth to a baby made using her own eggs. Earlier this year, a fertility clinic in Athens, Greece, claimed it had reversed the menopause in a group of their patients. The team injected the women's ovaries with platelet-rich plasma from their own blood. This approach is widely used for bone and joint injuries--the idea is to kickstart resident stem cells into action, although whether it works is unclear.
