Big news in the fertility world this morning. Gameto, the pluripotent stem cell startup I wrote about in my future of fertility series last year, was acquired by Ferring (pharma co) for $1.4b! It uses stem cells to essentially regenerate dysfunctional or aging eggs in women’s ovaries. I imagine this biotech will now became a standard part of IVF care, and as I wrote last year, it also has promising implications for aging-related symptoms of menopause too.

Gameto represents the kind of breakthrough science that has the potential to fundamentally change women’s health and expand reproductive choice for generations to come. With decades of experience helping people build families, Ferring is well positioned to bring this innovation to more women and families around the world.
