Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major ...

A biotech company recently announced that it's implanted another pig kidney into a human recipient. Here's what to know.

Protecting animals against environmental changes, poachers, and other dangers is vital yet challenging work. And in recent ...

Over the past decade, there have been scattered reports of mammalian cells’ own DNA being found in the cytoplasm, mainly in the context of disease and aging. While it is not unusual to find DNA from ...

Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism and controls the cell’s activities. The cell ...

a cell that contains DNA that is mostly elephant, but a little bit mammoth. If that cell is then used to create an embryo and eventually an animal, the result will be a hybrid animal with DNA ...

Pulsed electrical fields can be used to introduce DNA into a wide variety of animal cells 1,2. Electroporation works well with cell lines that are refractive to other techniques, such as calcium ...
