| World's first chimeric monkeys are born Posted: 05 Jan 2012 10:16 AM PST Researchers have produced the world's first chimeric monkeys. The bodies of these monkeys are composed of a mixture of cells representing as many as six distinct genomes. The advance holds great potential for future research as chimeric animals had been largely restricted to mice. The report also suggests there may be limits to the use of cultured embryonic stem cells.  |
| Size matters: Sugars regulate communication between plant cells Posted: 12 Dec 2011 09:39 AM PST Multicellular organisms must have a means for cells to communicate with one another. Past research has shown that plants possess the ability to directly transfer materials between adjacent cells, through holes in their cell walls called plasmodesmata (PD). Now, a new study reveals one way to control the size of these PD channels, to prevent or allow the passage of important signals between cells, during plant development.  |
