Swiss scientists outline mouse embryo cloning method
Researchers in Geneva and Bar Harbor report a technique to create genetic clones of mouse embryos by transferring nuclei from four day old embryos into eggs of a different strain. The embryos were implanted into surrogate mothers, with three survivors from hundreds of attempts. Experts caution that this does not enable human cloning and has limited immediate applications. The work, to be published in Cell, could advance gene growth aging and cancer research.
