International scientists set up a rescue plan for the last three northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) on Earth. The goal is to use the remaining three rhinos and tissue samples from ...

Researchers are now able to study stem cells from the brains of adult mice and their neurogenesis in long-term cell cultures. Scientists have developed a new method which allows them to generate ...

There is the possibility of a child having multiple genetically-related parents, or only one. It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique ...

For the first time, scientists said Thursday that they had bred mice with two genetic fathers, steering around biological hurdles that would otherwise prevent same-sex parents from having offspring.

A team of scientists created a bi-paternal mouse through targeted imprinting gene edits in embryonic stem cells. This demonstrates the potential for overcoming barriers to unisexual mammalian ...

All mammals on Earth reproduce in nature by mating with the opposite sex. Now, scientists have overcome this mammalian reproduction barrier — with mice. A paper published today in the journal Cell ...

Until recently, the only way to make eggs or sperm was the old-fashioned way: in the ovaries and testes. In the not-too-distant future, it may be possible to use cells from almost any part of the body ...
