The game changing technique to create babies from skin cells . . . Researchers have previously created mouse eggs from their tail cells using induced pluripotent stem cells, and fertilizing those resulting in viable pups. This breakthrough has now served as the blueprint for the recent successful creation of immature human egg cells, known as […]

Scientists breed mice with same sex parents Shockingly, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Science just reported that they have successfully “bred mice with two genetic fathers”, and have previously bred mice from two genetic mothers. Using CRISPR allowed them to bypass the need for maternal and paternal DNA to create a viable human. While […]

CRISPR cures inherited disorder in mice On a very positive ethical note, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have utilized CRISPR to cure mice of a fatal liver disease while in utero! This “proof of concept” trial will pave the way to potentially curing genetic diseases in humans while the fetus is still in the […]
