Since the creation of Dolly via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)1, more than a dozen species of mammals have been cloned using this technology2. One hypothesis for the limited success of ...

In 2007, Mitalipov's team successfully transformed monkey skin cells into embryonic stem cells. The somatic cell nuclear transfer process Mitalipov and his team use involves transplanting the nucleus ...

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 ...

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS. The first pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been generated from somatic cell nuclear transfer, according to a study published today (October 5) in Nature.The ...

In principle, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a potent tool for scientists looking to produce exact genetic replicas of a particular animal. By injecting a nucleus from an adult cell into ...

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 ...

The cells do die in this process, but the researchers were able to perform somatic cell nuclear transfer and recover the nucleus, which contains all the necessary genetic information to create an ...

“After nuclear transfer, we produced cloned blastocysts from freeze-dried somatic cells, and established nuclear transfer embryonic stem cell lines,” the authors noted.

Simply put, they cultured mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) alongside human primed pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). “When we started this coculture for a different purpose, we almost serendipitously ...
