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 ...

(1) Studies were made to determine if any natural sexual isolation exists between a parthenogenetic strain and two bisexual strains of D. mercatorura and if sexual isolation may be enhanced by ...

Parthenogenetic rock lizards, particularly those of the genus Darevskia, represent a fascinating model for understanding the interplay between genetics and ecology. Originating from interspecific ...

The major objective of this study was to improve the development rate of parthenogenetic porcine embryos. In this study, the anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects of three antioxidants, ...

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 ...

International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) is making changes to its license agreements with Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) that grant ISCO access to a range of ACT’s patents and patent applications ...

Last winter, two female Komodo dragons at separate zoos in England gave their keepers big surprises. With no contact from any male, each of the giant lizards laid a clutch of viable eggs, some of ...

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 ...
