Nuclear cloning, also referred to as nuclear transfer or nuclear transplantation, denotes the introduction of a nucleus from an adult donor cell into an enucleated oocyte to generate a cloned embryo.

In the future, such specialized cells and tissues grown from ESCs generated by nuclear transfer may help treat disease, hence the term "therapeutic cloning." ...

In February 2004, Woo--Suk Hwang made world headlines when he claimed to have cloned human embryos using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer, and then to have derived a line of stem ...

But I want to go on record as saying that there's a clear, bright line between legitimate scientific applications of nuclear transfer, of cloning, and that is to make stem cell, that is different ...

In non-reproductive (therapeutic) cloning, following somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT; see also Fig. 1) the cloned embryo develops only to the blastocyst stage. At this stage, a cluster of ...

To do the right deed for the wrong reason. On November 6, 2003, a United Nations (UN, New York, NY, USA) General Assembly motion to ban internationally all forms of human nuclear transfer (NT ...

Therapeutic cloning is cautiously accepted within ethical bounds to alleviate suffering, reproductive cloning is broadly ...

The cloning method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been used to clone animals before—most notably Dolly the sheep, which was cloned in Scotland in 1996 and announced the ...

"This approach significantly increased the success rate of cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer," Sun said, and it could yield "a higher number of cloned animals using a reduced number of ...

In a laboratory setting, though, cloning is a highly complicated procedure through the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), in which the donor adult cell nucleus is injected into an egg ...

The cloning experiment began last year at Northwest ... from cows across China and used what's called the somatic cell nuclear transfer method to create embryos which were then placed inside ...
