Mouse with two fathers survives to adulthood, marking scientific milestone

  • Scientists in China have successfully raised offspring from 2 male mice, marking a significant advancement in unisexual reproduction research.
  • The study published in Cell Stem Cell shows that 11.8% of bi-paternal mouse embryos developed until birth, although most were sterile and had developmental defects.
  • The research team plans to extend their experiments to larger animals like monkeys, but this will require considerable time due to genetic differences.
  • Co-Corresponding author Zhi-Kun Li stated that further modifications to imprinting genes could lead to healthy bi-paternal mice and new therapies for genetic disorders.
