Hybrid embryos have been made elsewhere, but there's no widely accepted report of getting stem cells from them. Animal eggs are attractive because human ones are hard to get for research.

Researchers have been integrating human DNA, cells, and tissue into animals since the 1960s. Today, “transgenic” animals (those containing one or more human genes) and “chimeras” (animals with some ...

A hybrid embryo is a mixture of both human and animal tissue. In May 2008 a cross-party attempt to ban hybrid human animal embryos was defeated on a free vote in the House of Commons, by 336 to ...

PREHISTORIC wall paintings uncovered deep inside the Amazon rainforest depict animal-human hybrids and alien-like creatures. Instead of pointing to the existence of paranormal beings, researchers b… ...

The hybrid embryos, which would be destroyed within 14 days, would be more than 99-per-cent human but would contain a small amount of animal DNA.

The Japanese government has said researchers will monitor the animal-human hybrids for up to two years and will stop the experiment if they find more than 30 per cent human cells in an animal’s ...

Several teams have tried to make animal-human hybrids as a source of embryonic stem cells, the master cells of the body. Because human eggs are scarce -- it requires a surgical procedure to get ...

In embryos from human eggs, they found that patterns of gene activity resembled those in ordinary human embryos. But with the human-animal hybrid embryos, the patterns were much different.

Hybrid embryos have been made elsewhere, but there’s no widely accepted report of getting stem cells from them. Animal eggs are attractive because human ones are hard to get for research.
