In this slide show showing somatic cell nuclear transfer, as it's also known, we explain how we clone egg cells to create embryonic stem cells in our lab at Children's Hospital Boston. Unless ...

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

In contrast to cohesin, which binds two sister chromatids together, condensin is thought to bind a single chromatid at multiple spots ... daughter cells. The breakdown of the nuclear membrane ...

Figure 2: In this example, a piece of intestine is cut out (1), and brush-border epithelial cells are dissociated to use them for nuclear transfer (2). Compared to the great stability of ...

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 ...
