Scientists create mice with two dads, highlighting genetic engineering breakthroughs and challenges.

Chinese scientists have created mice with two male parents, marking a breakthrough in genetic engineering. The research, published in Cell Stem Cell, involved editing genes in mouse embryonic stem cells to create bipaternal offspring. While the mice exhibited developmental abnormalities, a shortened lifespan, and sterility, the study offers potential for advancements in preventing species extinction and regenerative medicine.
