Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic lineages. However, their ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood.

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...
