Can two male mice raise healthy offspring? Chinese researchers break the barriers— know how
Scientists in China have successfully bred mice with two male parents that can survive to adulthood. This significant breakthrough was achieved by overcoming imprinting gene challenges through 20 specific genetic modifications. While the mice survived to adulthood, they exhibited health issues like shorter lifespans and infertility. The research aims to further understand imprinting disorders and develop gene-editing therapies.
