human cells, when combined with animal embryos, could develop
into brain cells, sperm, or
egg cells in the chimeric offspring.
If the cells can be fertilized and develop
into viable embryos, and if
human ES cells turn out to have similar powers, such cells could allow researchers to get around some of the expense and ethical questions that arise from using donated
eggs for therapeutic cloning experiments.
Thus far, the Newcastle team has worked with abnormally fertilized
human eggs that will not develop
into viable embryos; the new money will allow them to use normal, leftover
