Jan. 5, 2024 Creating a functional lung using interspecies chimeric animals is an attractive albeit challenging option for lung transplantation, requiring more research on the viable conditions needed for organ ...
May 25, 2022 Community diversity increases with an increased number of interactions between different species, but the mean interaction strength decreases. The interaction capacity hypothesis shows that ...
July 27, 2023 A new study of the strain of influenza A responsible for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic -- pdm09 -- shows that the virus has passed from humans to swine about 370 times since 2009, and subsequent circulation ...
Oct. 8, 2021 Metagenome sequencing of 'tricky' gene pools has been ridden with issues during assembly of sequenced DNA fragments, which can now be addressed by a tool developed by scientists. This ...
Dec. 16, 2021 A genetic and geographic analysis of variants of SARS-CoV-2 -- the virus that causes COVID-19 -- and related viruses in humans and animals may provide evidence of interspecies transmission ...
Apr. 15, 2021 Researchers have injected human stem cells into primate embryos and were able to grow chimeric embryos for a significant period of time -- up to 20 days. The research, despite its ethical concerns, ...
Sep. 7, 2023 Researchers have successfully created chimeric embryos containing a combination of human and pig cells. When transferred into surrogate pig mothers, the developing humanized kidneys had normal ...
Oct. 6, 2022 Researchers find the behavior of complex ecosystems can be predicted based on just two pieces of information: the number of species in the community and how strongly they interact with each ...
Sep. 9, 2022 Scientists have solved the century-old mystery of a supergene that causes efficient cross-pollination in ...
Mar. 14, 2022 Biosecurity efforts focused on the top 3% of farms in a particular contact network may significantly cut back cross-species disease ...
