In a breakthrough new study, scientists have created human-monkey chimera embryos for the first time. These chimeras pave the way for more accurate models of human biology and disease, which could ...

In a ground-breaking experiment, researchers have successfully created the first human-monkey chimera. The work, published in the journal Cell, describes the the first embryo containing both human and ...

Our understanding of the human body has sky-rocketed in recent decades, opening doors for everything from brain-controlled prosthetics to world-changing mRNA vaccines. But there are still some secrets ...

Though they consulted bioethicists while completing their work, researchers have raised eyebrows by creating monkey-human chimeric embryos by injecting human stem cells into primate embryos. These ...

Yeah, this will end well. Researchers have created the first-ever human/monkey embryo. Which is really cool if you watch sci-fi movies and think, “Science should destroy mankind.” A new paper ...

An ethical debate has been sparked after the announcement that a Spanish and US research team has created the first human–monkey chimera, in a lab in China. But could this novel approach change the ...

Scientists injected dozens of human stem cells into developing monkey embryos, and the resulting hybrids survived for up to 20 days in lab dishes. These human-monkey embryos could someday serve as ...

"Has science gone too far?" has become something of a meme of late. People post the question sarcastically on images of homemade Oreos with cream from 100 of the cookies, or a fast-food sandwich where ...

Depending on your point of view, the creation of an embryo that is part-human and part-monkey is either a great opportunity for medical experts to create organs and tissues for human transplantation; ...

Few things in science freak people out more than human-animal hybrids. Named chimeras, after the mythical Greek creature that’s an amalgam of different beasts, these part-human, part-animal embryos ...

A team of scientists from the U.S., China, and Spain reported Thursday they have created the first embryos that were part human and part monkey and kept them alive for up to 20 days in laboratory ...
