Using the blastocyst complementation method, we produced rat embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived sperm in testicular hypoplasia mice and successfully generated rat offspring. This method can provide a cost-effective and efficient strategy for generating genetically modified rats, addressing various problems in genetic engineering with rats.

Last Updated on: 13th June 2025, 01:50 pm As we’ve pointed out repeatedly, clean energy and electric vehicle production tax credits included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 passed by Democrats disproportionately benefit states and districts controlled by Republican Congressmen. It really doesn’t make sense to kill policies that are supporting tens or hundreds … Read more
Kushal Kedia (left) and Prithwish Dan (right) are members of the development team behind RHyME, a system that allows robots to learn tasks by watching a single how-to video. By Louis DiPietro Cornell researchers have developed a new robotic framework powered by artificial intelligence – called RHyME (Retrieval for Hybrid Imitation under Mismatched Execution) – … Read more
In a groundbreaking advance that could reshape therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), researchers have unveiled a detailed mechanism by which short D-enantiomeric peptides dismantle ultra-stable tau fibrils, offering fresh hope against one of the most elusive neurodegenerative disorders. The study illuminates how these small peptides—once considered unlikely champions against the formidable protein aggregates in … Read more
