A blend of mice and men, Researchers place human brain cells in 2- week-old rodents to further research of neurological problems
2005
Overview
Led by Fred Gage of the Salk Institute in San Diego, the researchers created the mice by injecting about 100,000 human embryonic stem cells per mouse into the brains of 14-day-old rodent embryos. Still, the work adds to the growing ethical concerns of mixing human and animal cells when it comes to stem cell and cloning research. After all, mice are 97.5 percent genetically identical to humans. Researchers are nevertheless beginning to bump up against what bioethicists call the \"yuck factor.\" Three top cloning researchers, for instance, have applied for a patent that contemplates fusing a complete set of human DNA into animal eggs to make human embryonic stem cells.
