British researchers say they have created embryos and stem cells using human cells and the egg cells of cows, but said such experiments would not lead to hybrid human-animal babies, or even to direct ...

Could cow milk be the new cure for diabetes? Researchers have genetically modified a brown cow in Brazil to produce human insulin in its milk, which marks a breakthrough in diabetes treatment research ...

A genetically modified cow has produced milk containing human insulin, according to a new study. The proof-of-concept achievement could be scaled up to, eventually, produce enough insulin to ensure ...

Turns out that cows may be helpful to us in the pandemic. There's a biotech company in South Dakota using cows to make antibodies for treating human disease. And lately, they've been making antibodies ...

In early March, Dr. Barb Petersen, a large-animal vet in Texas, began getting calls from the dairy farms she works with in the Panhandle. Workers there were seeing a lot of cows with mastitis, an ...

A South Dakota company expects to start human trials next month for a Covid-19 antibody treatment derived from the plasma of cows. But these aren’t just any cows. Scientists genetically engineered the ...

Cows have entry portals for both human and bird flus. This new finding may mean that cattle could host both types of flus at once. The two viruses could then swap parts to create a new type of ...

A South Dakota biotech company is using cows to create antibodies that could then be used for disease prevention or treatment. The cows have been given the genes to make a human-like immune system.
