Scientists create first live chimera monkey
Am I transhuman now? Can I [blank] her? |
FrankenScience has taken a new twist with the first live birth of a "chimeric" monkey. And it glows green.
- [CHIMERA: hybrid of two creatures into one, such as a rat-bird or humanoid harpy, found in mythology because this fusion was done in the past.]
They'll never make a human-owl chimera, right? |

The contribution of stem cells in different tissue types ranged from 21 percent to 92 percent, according to the Chinese team.
The “chimeric” monkey is composed of cells that originated from two genetically distinct embryos of the same species of monkey, according to research published in the journal Cell.
Please stop testing on us and torturing us. |
Study leader Dr. Zhen Liu, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), said: “This is a long-sought goal in the field.
"Please leave us alone." |
“Specifically, this work could help us to generate more precise monkey models [to do torturous animal testing on] for studying neurological diseases as well as for other biomedicine studies.” More
