Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), used CRISPR to engineer cellular models of embryos that mimic what happens in the first few days after reproductive cells meet. These ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Chinese researchers have successfully used complex embryonic stem cell engineering to create mice that have two fathers and ...

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the ...

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

Dlc1 deletion affects cardiac differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells by activating the canonical Wnt pathway ...

The viral transposable element, MERVL, acts as a central switch during early embryonic development, driving totipotent gene ...

The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...
