Lab-made embryos may save near-extinct rhino species
The northern white rhino faces a grim fate when its last surviving examples are two infertile females. A novel scientific technique might just spare the species from extinction, however. Researchers have successfully created the first lab-made rhino embryos in a bid to give the northern white a second chance. The group collected eggs from southern […]
Brainless Embryos Suggest Bioelectricity Guides Growth
Researchers are building a case that long before the nervous system works, the brain sends crucial bioelectric signals to guide the growth of embryonic tissues. https://media.wired.com/photos/5aaaaf6dec5e9b19adb81d74/master/pass/Froggo_2880x1220-featuredart.jpg

New Details on the First Crispr-Edited Human Embryos in the US
Scientists are excited about how effectively Crispr removed mutations in embryos. But it didn’t work the way they expected. https://media.wired.com/photos/59811a705350085419ca147d/master/pass/CrisprTA-821268794-%5BConverted%5D.jpg Feed: All Latest
Scientists Crispr the First Human Embryos in the US (Maybe)
The research was conducted by Shoukhrat Mitalipov, the same guy who first cloned embryonic stem cells in humans. And came up with three-parent in-vitro fertilization. https://media.wired.com/photos/597a0ad981c49267751c047b/master/pass/InVitro-HP-117452594.jpg Feed: All Latest
First editing of human embryos carried out in United States
U.S. scientists have for the first time altered the genes of human embryos — a controversial step toward someday helping babies avoid inherited diseases. CBC | Health News
DNA of human embryos edited for 1st time in US – report
A team of researchers in Oregon have become the first to attempt to create genetically modified human embryos in the United States. The team reportedly demonstrated they could eliminate diseases in offspring with CRISPR. Led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov, a team of scientists at the Oregon Health and Science University used the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology […]
‘No noble end’ can justify destroying human embryos – Pope Francis
Published time: 19 May, 2017 01:43 Edited time: 19 May, 2017 01:43 Pope Francis has acknowledged the scientific research on genetic diseases, but stressed that destroying human embryos is unjustifiable. The controversial topic was brought up at an event aimed at raising awareness about an incurable genetic disorder. “We know that no end, even a […]
Scientists soften position on DNA editing of human eggs, sperm, embryos
Although not ready yet, powerful gene editing tools may one day be used on human embryos, eggs and sperm to remove genes that cause inherited diseases, according to a report by U.S. scientists and ethicists released on Tuesday. CBC | Health News
