In the present study, we specifically crossed individuals with known genotypes. Using four highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, we compared genotypes of both adults and offspring to examine the ...

Differentiated cells derived from pluripotent hES cells offer the promise of new transplantation therapies. In the past decade, hundreds of hES cell lines have been derived from the blastocyst stage ...

Committed to regenerative medicine but fundamentally opposed to the use of embryonic stem cells, the founders of International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) created a new class of pluripotent human ...

In 1995, a boy made medical history when scientists learned he was partly the product of parthenogenesis — a process that occurs when an offspring results from an unfertilized egg. More than two ...

Remember this term: Parthenogenesis. This six-syllable word could be the answer to controversy-free stem cell research. Though the general public is well aware of the medical potential and ...

A scientist from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Biology, has, together with his Russian colleague, explained frequent occurrence of parthenogenesis - development of organisms from ...

When we talk of “single parents,” we refer to a family that has only a mother (or sometimes only a father) raising the offspring. But there’s another way to be a single parent — when an individual ...
