Sentences with phrase «egg cells stripped»

The new finding brings a measure of closure to a story that first rocked the science world in February 2004, when Hwang and colleagues at Seoul National University announced they had cloned a female donor's cell by transferring its nucleus into one of her egg cells stripped of its nucleus in a procedure known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), and harvested embryonic stem cells from the resulting fusion.

Using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), a team from Oregon Health & Science University (O.H.S.U.) in Portland implanted the contents of individual skin cells from adult male rhesus macaques into each of 304 macaque egg cells stripped of their genetic material.

The scientists starved the cells into quiescence, then transferred their DNA - carrying nuclei into egg cells stripped of their own nuclei.

Not exact matches

It is far more likely, however, that the egg - cell cytoplasm with its stripping factor will reprogram all the genetic material including the alterations made in the donor nucleus that were intended to prevent the creation of the zygote.

For instance, the egg - cell cytoplasm strips off all of the many epigenetic factors which differentiate a genetically restricted donor skin cell from a totipotent zygote.

The egg cell must then reprogram the nucleus's DNA, basically stripping the body cell of its identity and returning it to an embryonic state.

In theory, Puntung could be cloned, taking a nucleus from one of her cells and injecting it into an egg stripped of its own DNA.

Noah was created by fusing skin cells from a gaur — a rare species of wild ox that lives mostly in India — that had died in 1993 with cow eggs stripped of their nuclei.
