In the end, there may be no need to kill human embryos for getting stem cells, as two teams have achieved embryonic stem cells from human skin cells. The newly induced pluripotent cells could turn into various cell types of the human organism. "The advantage of using [such] reprogrammed skin cells is that any cells d... |

The 2004 South Korean claim regarding human cloning proved false. Meanwhile, a team at the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Portland could have achieved the cloning of monkey embryos and the extraction of stem cells from them, a huge step towards human cloning.

The sad part about all this is the fact that instead of using his great mind for a good purpose, he used it to scam people with a clone site. This is cer... |

We've already shown you that funny Wee DVD player and compared it to the Nintendo Wii. Bad choice of a name for a gadget considering that it's a synonym for urine... Now, another copycat and wannabe makes its way out of China, bearing the name Vii. The good news is that this typical Chinese gadget might be... |

After the mad cow, why not the demented pig? This is what Danish researchers at Institute of Human Genetics, Aarhus University, and University of Copenhagen, led by Associate Professor Arne Lund Jorgensen, are going to produce: the first pigs containing genes that trigger the Alzheimer's disease. The first clone... |

If a clone organism has 100 % of the genes of an organism, 50 % should not be that difficult to obtain. 50 % of an organism's genes are found exactly in the sperm or eggs. Now American researchers have figured out how to clone sperm, in order to restore fertility in men with very low sperm counts.By inserting th... |
