April 22 (UPI) --Scientists have created the world's first monkey embryos containing human cells in an attempt to investigate how the two types of cell develop alongside each other. The embryos, which ...

Scientists injected human stem cells into macaque embryos into a study on human development. Some of the embryos continued to develop for 20 days, researchers said. But the experiment has sparked an ...

In a breakthrough new study, scientists have created human-monkey chimera embryos for the first time. These chimeras pave the way for more accurate models of human biology and disease, which could ...

Scientists injected dozens of human stem cells into developing monkey embryos, and the resulting hybrids survived for up to 20 days in lab dishes. These human-monkey embryos could someday serve as ...

For the first time, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has created embryos that are part human and part monkey, sparking hopes of someday growing human organs for transplants, ...

Scientists have successfully grown monkey embryos containing human cells for the first time — the latest milestone in a rapidly advancing field that has drawn ethical questions. In the work, published ...

The part-human, part-monkey embryos were kept alive for 20 days, giving researchers enough time to learn about how animal and human cells communicate Georgia Slater is a staff editor on the Parents ...

Researchers have injected human stem cells into primate embryos and were able to grow chimeric embryos for a significant period of time -- up to 20 days. The research, despite its ethical concerns, ...

A team of scientists reported for the first time Thursday they have created embryos that are part human and part monkey and grown them in a lab for up to 20 days, a controversial practice that ...

In a ground-breaking experiment, researchers have successfully created the first human-monkey chimera. The work, published in the journal Cell, describes the the first embryo containing both human and ...

The idea first came to co-founder and chief science officer Leila Strickland in 2013, after she heard about the world’s first lab-grown burger. A cell biologist by training, Strickland wondered if ...
