Mouse with two fathers survives to adulthood, marking scientific milestone
A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood.
Cell is an information source for the life sciences. Cell provides the latest research highlights on cells including but not limited to RNA, the cellular process and a futuristic look at disease and cellular process. Cell Press is associated with Elservier and publishes numerous journals, Cell Metabolism, Neuron, Immunity, AJHG and other noteworthy peer review journals. Cell offers abstract information and invites press requests for articles and images. A useful tool offered by Cell is SnapShot which features a glossary of terms, plainly written information about cell processes and other information.
