Saving the Snow Leopard With Stem Cells
January 23, 2012 The survival of the endangered snow leopard is looking promising thanks to scientists who have, for the first time, produced embryonic stem-like cells from the tissue of an adult ... > full story -
Genetic Buzzer-Beater Genes May Save Fish
November 29, 2011 Two distinct populations of rainbow trout -- one in Alaska, the other in Idaho -- share a genetic trait that could have huge implications for fisheries conservation and management, an eight-member ... > full story -
Fertilized Oocytes Digest Paternal Mitochondria
November 3, 2011 During fertilization, the entire spermatozoon enters the oocyte. However, most of its organelles, including mitochondria, are not transmitted to the offspring. A new study demonstrates for the first ... > full story -
Inadequate Supply of Protein Building Blocks May Explain Pregnancy Failures in Bovine Cloning Experiments
October 26, 2011 Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are essential to support the normal growth of a developing embryo and the placenta. An insufficient supply of amino acids in the mother’s uterus ... > full story -
