Iran makes first stem cell mouse
Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:59:06
Scientists at the stem cell department of Iran's Royan Research
Center have successfully produced a mouse using embryonic stem cells.
The mouse was created by injecting the embryonic stem cells of a
black mouse into a white mouse's blastosists, the director of the
research team told IRNA.
The resulted embryos were then transferred to another mouse's uterine
and finally a chimera mouse was born, he continued.
Hossein Baharvand said his team was looking forward to producing mice
with specific characteristics by genetically modifying their
embryonic stem cells.
They claim their findings could help scientists study the role of
specific genes in the body.
In 2006, Royan Research Center scientists successfully cloned the
country's first lamb, Royana.
