In genetics and developmental biology, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory strategy for creating a viable embryo from a body cell and an egg cell. The technique consists of taking an ...

Adult skin stem cells from the mouse are used for cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer. It has also been suggested that reprogramming by oocytes, and hence cloning efficiency, may vary ...

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 ...

The efficiency of nuclear transfer remains extremely low (<2%) and high rates of perinatal mortality are observed, particularly when adult somatic cells are used as donor karyoplasts. This ...
