Cloning of mammals by nuclear transfer (NT) results in gestational or neonatal failure with at
most a few percent of manipulated embryos resulting in live births. Many of those that …

Embryo technologies are a combination of assisted reproduction, cellular and molecular
biology and genomic techniques. Their classical use in animal breeding has been to …

Nuclear transfer from somatic cells still has limited efficiency in terms of live calves born due
to high fetal loss after transfer. In this study, we addressed the type of donor cells used for …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The major cause of limited life span in CF patients is …

Abstract Development to blastocyst following nuclear transfer is dependent on the donor
cell's ability to reprogram its genome to that of a zygote. This reprogramming step is …

14 develop abnormally is currently unjustified on scientific grounds and should not be used
by policymakers or other groups as an argument to ban all human cloning research. In our …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been an area of interest in the field of stem cell
research and regenerative medicine for the past 20 years. The main biological goal of SCNT …

The requirement for large quantities of therapeutic proteins has fuelled interest in the
production of recombinant proteins in plants and animals. The first commercial products to …

The present study demonstrated that brief treatment of in vitro-matured porcine oocytes with
demecolcine results in a membrane protrusion that contains a condensed chromosome …

NUCLEAR TRANSFER is a procedure by which genetically identical individuals can be
created. The applications of these techniques for nuclear transfer will be in agricultural …
