Want a bespoke baby? Check the beauty, brains, or brawn boxes on the embryo order form. Genetic tinkering is no longer science fiction—it’s a market without legal guidelines or societal buy-in. But ...

NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell Scientists are creating the most comprehensive map ever of genetic changes ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body's ...

- RHEACELL, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of somatic cell therapies, and AOP Health Group, a pioneer in integrated therapeutic solutions for rare diseases, have entered ...

For example, follicle cells, i.e., somatic cells surrounding oocytes, interact directly with female germ cells on their apical side and contribute to egg production.

These findings suggest a previously unrecognized form of interaction between somatic and germ cells in animals, challenging established views in zoology and cell biology. Tsukuba, Japan—Animal organs ...

(2) Detection of both maternal and somatic ribosomes in polysomes, indicating maternal and somatic ribosomes both support translation in the embryos and may not be functionally unique. (3) Persistent ...

We sequenced whole genomes and methylomes of single human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from several healthy individuals of different ages and patients with hematologic malignancies. Based on the ...

The pair had helped identify a still-unnamed disease, which they had tied to a particular gene and to a particular somatic mutation—a genetic change that had not been passed down from a parent and was ...

Abstract 410 Background: TGCT is a prototype stem-cell malignancy recapitulating the ontogeny of solid tumors. We studied the roles of differentiation versus dedifferentiation in a bona fide ...

Somatic cell Somatic cells are any cells forming the body of an organism, as opposed to germline cells. In mammals, germline cells (also known as "gametes") are the spermatozoa and ova which fuse ...

Components of zygotic genome activation, Zelda and CLAMP, contribute to the proper specification of primordial germ cells in Drosophila embryos.
