In one, they looked for and found cells that appeared to be undergoing meiosis, the type of cell division peculiar to sperm and egg cells. They also detected the activity of a gene involved in that process. Then they dosed the mice with busulfan, a cancer drug known to kill the stem cells that produce sperm. Three weeks later, there were virtually no eggs left, suggesting that the drug had found a similar stem-cell target...
