Embryonic Research

Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Global scientists on Thursday renewed calls to halt controversial research to genetically edit human embryos after a Chinese team published details of a stunted but breakthrough attempt in this new frontier in science.

In a recent research study, scientists observed that vitamin C prompted the embryonic stem cells of mice to transform into beating heart muscle cells. This current finding is crucial as it could help in the development of new heart failure treatments.

According to research, embryonic stem (ES) cells were turned into insulin-making tissue in diabetic mice. This could lead to the use of embryonic stem cells to make new insulin-producing islets.

India may tighten its existing rules concerning embryonic stem cell research to prevent violation of medical ethics. Stem cell research is the most prominent research occurring in the biomedical community today. Embryonic stem cells are malleable cells that form the human embryo and later develop into the various specialised cells of the body. Stem...
