If ESCR using «excess» embryos from IVE» continues, the next step will likely be the pursuit of such «therapeutic» cloning — the creation of embryos through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to provide individually tailored stem cell therapies.
One proposal that has received considerable scientific support has been to generate non-embryonic entities that can serve as a source of stem cells through a process termed Altered Nuclear Transfer (or ANT).
Embryos created through somatic cell nuclear transfer, which uses skin cells taken from the sick child, could also be used to test therapies.
Some scientists, such as Kevin Eggan at Harvard, were disappointed that NIH didn't open the door to the use of embryos created for research purposes — including through somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning) and parthenogenesis (from an unfertilized egg).
Stem cell researchers call them «a major step in the right direction,» although some were disappointed that NIH didn't open the door to the use of embryos created for research purposes — including through somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning) and parthenogenesis (from an unfertilized egg).
Enriched uranium oxide is formed into rods and water is used both as a coolant, flowing through the reactor core to transfer heat away, and as a moderator, slowing down neutrons released by fission so that they promote further nuclear reactions.
One way to create such cells is through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), in which the nucleus of a patient's cell is inserted into an egg cell from which most of the DNA has been removed (ScienceNOW, 19 June).
Great Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), which oversees fertility treatments and embryo research in that nation, recently approved fertility procedures that would amount to the genetic engineering of children through cloning (nuclear transfer) technology and germ - line modification, resulting in a «three - parent embryo» that would have genetic material from two mothers and one father.
Most recently, Dr. Jaenisch and his colleagues have shown that it is possible to isolate embryonic stem cells without harming an embryo through a process known as «altered nuclear transfer.»
Dolly the sheep was cloned through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
