Scientists in China have created mice with two biological fathers, a milestone that challenges our understanding of mammalian reproduction. While the mice exhibited significant developmental ...

"That said, this report makes a significant contribution to a deeper understanding of the function of genomic imprinting in ...

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

Their results were published last month in the journal Cell Stem Cell. This new procedure developed by Li and colleagues ...

Researchers find a master epigenetic switch that activates silenced genes to compensate for their missing counterparts in a ...

A team of researchers has successfully engineered a bi-paternal mouse - a mouse with two dads - that survived until adulthood ...

The concept of biological reproduction between same-sex individuals in mammals has always been deemed impossible. However, ...

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 ...

A gene-edited mouse with two male parents has survived to adulthood, pushing new progress on stem cell research.

Earlier attempts using ovarian organoids have failed to produce a viable bi-paternal mouse due to abnormalities in the imprinting genes.

As a crucial step, the scientists introduced 20 genetic tweaks into the DNA of the stem cells. These tweaks change the activity of imprinting genes, which are unique in that offspring inherit two ...
