The findings will help scientists better understand the nature of age-related decline in hearing and may lead to new therapies to prevent or treat the condition. http://www.physorg.com/news171203447.html Medicine & Health Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:40:02 EST news171203447 Puppies born from the world's first cloned dog will be offered to good homes later this year, South Korean researchers said on Thursday. http://www.physorg.com/news171178519.html Biology Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:10:04 EST news171178519 One of the world's first two cloned wolves has died from an apparent infection, a professor who produced the clones almost four years ago said Tuesday. http://www.physorg.com/news171001055.html Biology Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:40:01 EST news171001055 (AP) -- Prosecutors demanded a four-year prison term Monday for a South Korean scientist disgraced in a cloning scandal that shook the international scientific community and led to his trial on fraud and other charges. http://www.physorg.com/news170317359.html Biology Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:23:19 EST news170317359 A South Korean biotechnology firm will early next year open a centre capable eventually of producing up to 1,000 cloned dogs annually, a company executive said Friday. http://www.physorg.com/news169456897.html Biology Fri, 14 Aug 2009 08:22:04 EST news169456897 (AP) -- Hanqi Miao said she wanted to donate her eggs to help infertile couples reproduce, but she acknowledged the money is good, too: She said she'll be paid about $5,000. http://www.physorg.com/news168240792.html Biology Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:33:37 EST news168240792 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which results in low birth weight and long-term deleterious health effects in cloned swine, is linked to a type of gene - known as an imprinted gene - found only in placental mammals. Imprinted genes play an important role in the normal fetal development of all mammals, and this study could have future implications for the study of IUGR in humans. http://www.physorg.com/news167320132.html Biology Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:00:06 EST news167320132 South Korea customs has deployed what it claims to be the world's first cloned working sniffer dogs, officials said Sunday. http://www.physorg.com/news167210308.html Biology Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:40:01 EST news167210308 Five clones of a search and rescue dog which helped locate people trapped in the rubble of the 9/11 attacks were formally presented to their ancestor's former handler. http://www.physorg.com/news164510477.html Biology Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:00:02 EST news164510477 Scientists in the Indian state of Haryana have cloned a buffalo using foetal tissue, according to a report. http://www.physorg.com/news163591756.html Biology Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:10:47 EST news163591756 (AP) -- South Korean scientists say they have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases.
