While discussions often misattribute mass violence to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a more forensic psychiatry perspective ...

By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a promising new approach that could be used to treat a rare and ...

It involves a balance between the genetic material of both parents. A crucial mechanism, called genetic imprinting, plays a key role in this process. Certain genes, known as "imprinted genes," are ...

At the International Summit on Human Genome Editing, held in March 2023 at the Francis Crick Institute in London, Japanese ...

By activating a master epigenetic switch using CRISPR, naturally suppressed genes can be turned on, offering hope for ...

The health consequences of genomic imprinting are potentially disastrous. It eliminates the protection that diploidy normally affords against deleterious effects of recessive mutations.

This new procedure developed by Li and colleagues combats a mammalian control system called genetic imprinting, which prevents viable mammal embryos from being obtained by combining two gametes of ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists from China have successfully created mice with two biological fathers. Though the achievement resulted in developmental abnormalities and sterility in the ...
