These miniature pigs are part of a bold scientific experiment that takes advantage of breakthroughs in cloning and gene editing to realize the centuries-old dream of xenotransplantation — the ...

To turn the edited cells into a pig, cloning is required, taking the edited cells and fusing them with a donor egg cell that has had its nucleus removed to create a pig embryo.

The breakthrough has spawned ventures to clone pigs for organ transplants, clone genetically altered cows for pharmaceutical purposes and even store the DNA of aging pets for future cloning.

Pigs have been cloned for the first time using methods that may lead to an important new source of human-like organs for transplant, scientists said yesterday.

Here we describe a procedure for cloning pigs by the use of in vitro culture systems. Four healthy male piglets from two litters were born following nuclear transfer of cultured somatic cells and ...
