The UK, however, is actively pursuing therapeutic cloning. These divisions are mirrored ... plan in consultation with leading local stem-cell researchers, such as Irving Weissman: they organized ...

Professor Hiroaki Matsubara and colleagues from Kyoto University Hospital has regenerated stem cells from cardiac muscle cells. The cardiac muscle cells were obtained from the heart tissue of ...

Therapeutic cloning, also known as embryo cloning or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), involves creating embryonic stem cells that are genetically identical to the donor. The goal of therapeutic ...

Therapeutic cloning is almost identical to reproductive, except the cloned embryo is never implanted in a uterus. Instead, the embryo is cloned for the sole purpose of extracting stem cells.

For the first time, Oregon State researchers in the US have used cloning techniques to create human embryonic stem cells that could offer hope for conditions such as Parkinson's disease ...

The field of therapeutic cloning has long sought to provide a way to create replacement organs and tissues from a patient’s own cells, with the most recent boost coming from the US Advanced ...

The use of human embryonic material was controversial and so research into so-called therapeutic ... creating cells that behaved in the same way as embryonic stem cells without using cloning ...
