💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐑🧬 Dolly the #sheep made #history 30 years ago, but #cloning has since evolved into a specialized biotechnological tool. This overview explains somatic cell nuclear transfer and how current #research by international teams impacts #livestock, #medicine, and #endangeredspecies #conservation, and clarifies why human cloning and de-extinction remain complex challenges. 👉 https://phys.org/news/2026-07-years-dolly-sheep-born-cloning.html #epigenetics #stemcells #biotechnology #genetics #deextinction #ferrets #science #animals #wildlife #reproduction

Scientists at Monash University say they have found a way to permanently "switch off" genes that help cancer cells thrive. This could help development of a new style of treatment that might be more effective and less difficult for patients. “We have potentially identified a new way to exploit cancer’s weaknesses,” said Dr. Omer Gilan, who worked on the research.
