First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...

Modification Of Genes In Human Embryos
Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. For the first time, scientists said, they corrected a gene mutation linked to inherited heart conditions in human embryos using the approach.

First Genetically Modified Human Embryos In US May Open Gates To 'Designer Babies'
The effort, led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov of Oregon Health and Science University in the US, involved changing the DNA of a large number of one-cell embryos with the controversial gene-editing technique CRISPR.

Britain Allows First Genetic Modification of Embryos
The decision makes Britain one of the first countries in the world to grant this type of authorisation on one of science's new frontiers.

Britain Grants First Licence For Genetic Modification Of Embryos
Britain today granted its first licence to genetically modify human embryos for research into infertility and why miscarriages happen, in a move likely to raise ethical concerns.

Chinese 'Edit' Human Embryos, Scientists Urge Moratorium on Research
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.
