Scientists create green glowing monkey

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.
They'll never make a human-owl chimera, right?

Chimeras in mythology, particularly Greek
Scientists from China reported the “long-sought” birth of a male primate containing a high proportion of cells derived from a monkey stem cell line.

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.
The process has previously been achieved in rats and mice but, until now, has not been possible in other species, including non-human primates.

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."
“This research not only has implications for understanding naive pluripotency [ability of cells to do many things] in other primates, including humans, but it also has relevant practical implications for genetic engineering and species conservation.

“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
