Genetically modifying individual cells in animals Date: September 20, 2023 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently ...

First time in adult animals For the first time, the ETH Zurich researchers have now successfully applied this approach in living animals – specifically, in adult mice – as they report in the current ...

Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells ...

The typical animal cell measures about 10 microns, or 0.001 centimeters, in diameter. Which is unsurprising—cells are small! that's sort of the point!—and, at the same time, curious. Animals ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...
