Exactly 26 years ago, scientists successfully cloned the first mammal, Dolly the sheep, using cells from an adult sheep’s mammary glands. Though cloning still skeeves out a large chunk of the public, ...

Climate change is threatening many species with extinction, so we owe it to them to try to help. Japanese scientists have now successfully cloned mice from freeze-dried adult cells, which can be ...

BOSTON, March 7 -- For the first time, scientists say they have used the ethically sensitive technology of therapeutic cloning to repair an inherited disease in a lab animal. While still far from ...

As species continue to face massive extinction, preserving genetic material through judicious biobanking to enable cloning is key to promoting the survival of species and maintaining biodiversity.

A study on the cloned mice titled "Healthy cloned offspring derived from freeze-dried somatic cells" has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers from the University of ...

Japanese scientists have successfully produced cloned mice using freeze-dried cells in a technique they believe could one day help conserve species and overcome challenges with current biobanking ...

For the first time ever, scientists have successfully been able to clone freeze-dried skin cells of mice. The research could have implications when it comes to trying to revive the populations of ...

Working separately from the Scottish team that had earlier cloned Dolly the sheep, he and his team pioneered an easier, more successful method. By Clay Risen Ryuzo Yanagimachi, whose long career as a ...

Cloning using somatic cells has potentially important clinical and therapeutic applications, but the long-term effects of cloning on the offspring of these animals remains unknown. In March Nature ...
