New research shows it’s possible to edit the DNA of human embryos with more precision. But scientists warn it’s still not ...

Today, cloning is not a technology that can simply “copy and paste” living things. But it’s brought advances in several ...

Research led by the University of Cambridge Loke Center for Trophoblast Research has shown that a genome-editing technique can be used to alter a single gene in human embryonic cells, enabling the ...

A DNA-editing feat involving editing the genes of early stage embryos—a far cry from designer babies, but nevertheless a step in that direction—was announced this week. Dieter Egli, an associate ...

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long alarmed bioethicists. By Carl Zimmer Scientists at Columbia University have ...

A clutch of artificial human embryos on China’s Tiangong space station could help researchers better understand whether human pregnancies in space are possible and safe. The Chinese Academy of ...

Humanity’s looming ambition to colonize the Moon and Mars faces one major obstacle: our ability to reproduce beyond Earth. While we’re nowhere near making space babies just yet, now may be the time to ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...
