Cloning by present methods is very inefficient owing to the extraordinary demands placed on the oocyte cytoplasm in reprogramming a somatic nucleus rather than a sperm nucleus. The cumulative loss ...

Therapeutic cloning is cautiously accepted within ethical bounds to alleviate suffering, reproductive cloning is broadly ...

New research indicates that a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), has successfully survived for over two years. The cloning of rhesus monkeys may ...

Somatic cell nuclear transfer for IVG could fall under the same provision, if the somatic DNA and the egg came from different people. But if they came from the same person, that might represent a ...

The cloning method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been used to clone animals before—most notably Dolly the sheep, which was cloned in Scotland in 1996 and announced the ...

When Missouri's elected representatives arrive to work for the 2005 legislative session this week, they will have their hands full of material about the ethics and implications of a proposed statewide ...

Researchers have cloned rhesus monkeys before, but this is the first success using a method known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, which involves replacing the nucleus of a fertilized egg cell ...

Since the historic cloning of Dolly the sheep using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in 1996, more than 20 different animals have been created using the process, including ...

Study confirms that somatic cell nuclear transfer, an alternate method of creating patient-specific pluripotent stem cells, can be used to reprogram adult cells. Mice have been cloned from single ...

Nuclear-transfer embryonic stem cells that carry ... They went on to show that the stem cell lines could differentiate into somatic cells of the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm lineages ...
