A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Toward the goal of generating high-quality embryo models in vitro, this study establishes a stepwise protocol to derive trophectoderm-like cells from mouse extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. These ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...

The creation of a woolly-mouse embryo marks a significant leap in the field of de-extinction, bringing us one step closer to reviving the iconic woolly mammoth. By combining advanced gene-editing ...
