If you read the Technology Review article I posted, there is a Japanese team that managed to do it in mice, but it took them 4 years. I don’t really know that much about the technical details, but just judging from the empirical results it does not appear to be an easy problem.
I guess the social/logistic one is not wanting to create a solution that relies on a supply of abortion tissue, which leads to the scientific/technological one of how to create the follicle cells.
Hmm, that seems like it shouldnt be that hard of a problem to solve, but idk. I hope someone takes this on if that’s really a bottleneck.

Oh, I assumed the problem was a social / logistic one, but now I’m assuming there’s also a scientific / technological one
