A new study shows, for the first time, that cow cells can naturally become immortal—continuing to divide indefinitely without genetic modification or any abnormal transformation. This overturns ...
The safety tests that the government says will no longer use animals by the end of this year include the practice of giving ...
In A Nutshell • A pig kidney with just one genetic modification functioned in a human for 61 days before being removed as ...
Animal experiments in the UK peaked at 4.14 million in 2015 driven mainly by a big increase at the time in genetic modification experiments. By 2020, the number had fallen sharply to 2.88 million as ...

The group expects to hatch its first generation of chicks with gene modifications later this year as a proof of concept. Doran realizes that it could be some time before regulators would approve ...
Some Bt corn used for animal feed contains a gene for antibiotic resistance so that tracking can occur. What were they thinking!? Even if you aren’t a biologist, you know this can’t be good. What ...
Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.
Liver cells are indispensable for research—for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver cancer and for development of future cell therapies.
