Researchers offer proof-of-concept for Altered Nuclear Transfer
The theory, called altered nuclear transfer (ANT), proposes that researchers first create genetically altered embryos that are unable to implant in a uterus, and then extract stem cells from these embryos. view more (2005-10-17)
Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona researchers first to clone mice in Spain
Researchers at the Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) are the first to have cloned mice in Spain. Cloe, Cleo and Clona are three female brown-coloured mice and were born respectively on 12 May, 3 June and 10 June. view more (2009-06-12)
Blocking Cancer-Causing Gene Improves Radiation Effectiveness, Jefferson Researchers Find
Inhibiting a particular cancer-causing gene can enhance the cell-killing effects of radiation, a team of radiation oncologists and cancer biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found. view more (2006-11-09)
Rise in ICSI cycles suggests infertility could be affecting more men than women
Infertility may be becoming more of a man's problem than a woman's problem according to new figures released at the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2005-06-22)
OXFORD BIOMEDICA - AGREEMENT WITH VIRAGEN INC RE. LICENCE TO LENTIVECTOR TECHNOLOGY
Oxford BioMedica announced that it has signed an option agreement with the US biotechnology company Viragen Inc that may lead to a licence for the use of Oxford BioMedica's LentiVector® gene transfer technology for the production of therapeutic proteins from the eggs of transgenic chickens. The attached announcement by Viragen provides more... view more... (2003-03-18)
Researchers make 'embryonic-like' stem cells from umbilical cord blood
A breakthrough in human stem cell research, producing embryonic-like cells from umbilical cord blood may substantially speed up the development of treatments for life-threatening illnesses, injuries and disabilities. view more (2005-08-18)
Case Western Reserve University discovers Merkel cell originates from skin, not the neural crest
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine assistant professor of pediatrics, neurosciences and otolaryngology, Stephen M. Maricich, M.D., Ph.D., and his team found that Merkel cells originate in the skin, not the neural crest lineage, as previously speculated. view more (2009-10-05)
Planets forming in Pleiades star cluster, astronomers report
Rocky terrestrial planets, perhaps like Earth, Mars or Venus, appear to be forming or to have recently formed around a star in the Pleiades ("seven sisters") star cluster, the result of "monster collisions" of planets or planetary embryos. view more (2007-11-16)
Discredited Korean embryonic stem cells' true origins revealed
A report from researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute sheds new light on a now-discredited Korean embryonic stem cell line, setting the historical record straight and also establishing a much-needed set of standards for characterizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-08-03)
Reduced ovarian reserve associated with increased risk of trisomic pregnancy
Women who have a diminished number of eggs in their ovaries, either because they are older or for some other reason such as ovarian surgery, may be more at risk of a trisomic pregnancy than women with an ovarian reserve within the normal, fertile range. view more (2009-06-30)
Better Smaller, But More
In the city, frogs do not feel as comfortable as in the wild nature because of dirty water, a lack of food, and dangers at every turn. That is why the life of frogs in urban areas is shorter. However, they do not leave these habitats, but adapt to them. Apparently, there are two ways to adapt: either become more tolerant or increase the number of... view more... (2002-04-12)
A transplant in time
In hemophilia, a mutated gene prevents the production of a critical blood-clotting protein. Treatments for hemophilia and other such genetic diseases, when they exist, may consist of risky blood transfusions or expensive enzyme replacement therapy. view more (2007-01-02)
The Bioethics and Law Observatory advocates that in certain circumstances sex selection should be permitted for non-therapeutic reasons
In a press conference hold today, the Bioethics and Law Observatory (OBD) of the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) (University of Barcelona), based at the Parc Cient'fic de Barcelona (Barcelona Science Park), presented their latest Declaration on Sex Selection. This document advocates a modification of current legislation in order to permit... view more... (2003-03-13)
Leukemia gene normally has mammary gland function
A gene that is critical for normal mammary gland function during nursing helps trigger a highly lethal group of leukemias when it undergoes a mutation that fuses it to another gene view more (2006-07-20)
New, less invasive genetic test greatly improves pregnancy rates in older women with poor prognosis
A new test examining chromosomes in human eggs a few hours after fertilisation can identify those that are capable of forming a healthy baby. view more (2009-06-30)
Differences between boys and girls show less than three weeks into pregnancy
Female embryos exert a greater influence than male embryos over the hormone that nurtures early pregnancy, and the difference can be detected as little as 16 days after conception, according to new research published (Wednesday 30 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction.* Israeli scientists have demonstrated... view more...

Sea urchin genome suprisingly similar to man and may hold key to cures
Sea urchins are small and spiny, they have no eyes and they eat kelp and algae. Still, the sea creature's genome is remarkably similar to humans' and may hold the key to preventing and curing several human diseases, according to a University of Central Florida researcher and several colleagues. view more (2006-12-08)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
Three million babies born using assisted reproductive technologies
More than three million babies have been born worldwide using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) since the first ART baby (Louise Brown) was born in the UK 28 years ago. view more (2006-06-22)
MU scientists convert pigs' connective tissue cells into stem cells
For years, proponents have touted the benefits of embryonic stem cell research, but the potential therapies still face hurdles. view more (2009-06-26)
