Scientists used gene-editing to create a mouse with two male parents
A gene-edited mouse with two male parents has survived to adulthood, pushing new progress on stem cell research.
Researchers create mice born from 2 male parents
A research group led by Wei Li at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created mice born from two male parents and capable of reaching adulthood. This builds on previous work from the group in which the researchers had created viable mice born from two female parents (Cell Stem Cell 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.stem.2025.01.005 ).
Chinese scientists create mice from two male parents that survive to adulthood
In a milestone in mammalian genetic engineering, a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences succeeded in creating a viable bipaternal mouse from sperm provided by two male parents. The study,
Scientists use genetic engineering to create mice with two male parents
Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that managed to live to adulthood — though with significant developmental abnormalities — in what they are calling a noteworthy achievement in mammalian genetic engineering.
First mouse with two male parents to reach adulthood
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. Their results describe how targeting a particular set of genes involved in reproduction allowed the researchers to overcome previously insurmountable challenges in unisexual reproduction in mammals.
