A Japanese researcher has been granted permission by his government to conduct studies on chimeras, which are hybrid embryos ...

British scientists have a gene edit that could provide resistance to classical swine fever in pigs and bovine viral diarrhea in cattle ...

A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...

GLP-1s are being studied for a wide range of conditions. Now, scientists will test whether their anti-inflammatory properties ...

WINNIPEG — British scientists have created a pig that’s resistant to classical swine fever, using gene editing technology. The discovery could have benefits for other livestock because the virus that ...

During in vitro fertilisation (IVF), embryos undergo genetic testing before they are transferred to the uterus – but researchers have found that a widely used test cannot detect genetic abnormalities ...

A test deployed in many fertility clinics to assess the viability of embryos for use in IVF is likely to overestimate the number of embryos with abnormalities, suggests a study published in Nature ...

Researchers have developed pigs that are resistant to a highly infectious disease that has a significant impact on global pig farming. Their work demonstrates that gene editing can prevent infection ...

Baby Thaddeus Pierce began as a embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years. He holds the record for developing from the longest-frozen embryo known to result in a live birth. His mom was 4 and his ...
