  • Summary

    The development of inducible pluripotent stem [iPS] cells is terribly exciting. Generally, veterinary science has been helpful, barring one anomaly that is that no one got intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to work in animals. In horses ICSI is extremely difficult. ICSI did not work when they tried it in mice. It worked in humans by accident in Brussels and the humans were able to take advantage of it. Subzonal insertion of sperm (SUZI) was tried and the sperm was injected into the cytoplasm of the egg. However, all the other developments such as egg and embryo freezing, were started in mice and then moved to larger animals. If an embryonic stem cell line is developed from a female blastocyst, then we will only be able to generate X carrying sperm and not Y carrying sperm.
