In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

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...

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

Scientists Reverse Type 1 Diabetes By Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells
The patient had been suffering from hard-to-control diabetes despite intensive insulin treatment and had received pancreas transplantation in 2017.

New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
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...

COVID-19 Virus’ Link That Potentially Increases Brain Infection Risk Found, Claims Study
A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

Men's Eggs, Women's Sperm: Stem Cell Science May Change How We Reproduce
It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.
