Another company with a secret technique. It would be nice if this technique works out. Ooplasmic transfer has come up before. ................................................................

Davies Trends in Biotechnology, 2001, 19:10:381 Abstract There is no abstract for this article. The text below is the first paragraph of text within the article. An alternative method for producing pluripotent stem cells that does not involve cloning viable embryos, has been presented to a US Senate committee hearing reports The Blue Sheet (8 August). Ooplasmic transfer, a procedure described as 'largely theoretical' by its inventors Advanced Cell Technology ([ACT], Worcester, MA, USA), is the reverse of somatic cell nuclear transfer. The process could potentially produce undifferentiated cells that although possessing genes expressed in the embryo, do not themselves have the structure of an embryo. ACT has a patent application pending on the methods, and hopes to publish full details and findings within a year. MJD ...............................................................
