This discussed the legacy of PETs late patron Baroness Mary Warnock, and her work in reproductive healthcare, research and regulation. Sarah Norcross, director of PET, began by thanking the sponsors befo...

The cells were inserted in macaque embryos in petri dishes Credit: REUTERS Scientists have grown human cells in monkey embryos with the aim to understand more about how cells develop and communicate with each other. Researchers from the Salk Institute in California have produced what is known as monkey-human chimeras, with human stem cells - special cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types - inserted in macaque embryos in petri dishes in the lab. However, some et...

(Photo : Photo: Screenshot from Instagram) Genetic chimerism, also known as a chimera, is a single organism made up of cells with several genotypes. In species, this refers to an organism originating from two or more zygotes. It might include blood cells of various blood types, minor differences in structure (phenotype), and even the possession of both female and male sex organs if the zygotes were of different sexes. Ethical Discussion (Photo : Pixabay) Many scientists have expressed reservati...

BBC News By Helen Briggs image captionHuman cells were grown in an early monkey embryo Monkey embryos containing human cells have been made in a laboratory, a study has confirmed. The research, by a US-Chinese team, has sparked fresh debate into the ethics of such experiments. The scientists injected human stem cells - cells that have the ability to develop into many different body tissues - into macaque embryos. The developing embryos were studied for up to 20 days. Other so-called mixed-spec...
