Haploid embryonic stem cell research explores the utilisation of cells that contain a single set of chromosomes to probe gene function with unprecedented clarity. This unique genomic configuration ...

Life cycles require the creation of an autonomous individual, that individual’s growth and that individual’s reproduction In ...

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to ...

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT ... This is the process we are calling 'mitomeiosis'. The now-haploid egg is then fertilized with sperm from the other intended parent, resulting in a diploid ...

Researchers transplant the nucleus of a skin cell into an egg, or oocyte, stripped of its own nucleus.

An innovative use of skin cells could provide a route for same-sex couples or women with fertility problems to have children ...

It is no longer science fiction: human embryos have now been made from DNA in skin cells that were fertilised with sperm, a move that redrafts the biological limits of reproduction. At an Oregon ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have reached an unexpected milestone in the fight against infertility. Starting from simple skin cells, they have successfully created human ...
