科幻片《人兽杂交》中半人半兽的生物很可能将会成为现实。近日,日本批准了创造含有人类细胞动物胚胎的实验,并且可以让这些胚胎移植到动物体内并被足月分娩。预计实验成果将用于人类器官移植。
Japan's government approved a request by scientists to conduct stem-cell experiments to create an animal-human hybrid and allow it to be brought to term.
日本政府近日批准科学家开展培育人兽杂交胚胎的干细胞实验,并允许其足月分娩。
Japan's science ministry last week gave provisional approval to a proposal from researchers at the University of Tokyo to create animal embryos that contain human cells and transplant them into surrogate animals, Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported.
据日本《朝日资讯》报道,日本文部科学省上周为东京大学研究人员的一项研究议题发出临时许可,该研究计划培养含有人类细胞的动物胚胎,并将其移植到代孕动物体内。
surrogate ['sʌrəgət]:adj.替代的,代理的
The study would create a human pancreas in rodents using human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. According to UCLA's Broad Stem Cell Research Center, these are cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryo-like state and can be used to create virtually any other type of cell.
这项研究将利用人类诱导多能干细胞(iPS)在啮齿动物体内形成人类胰腺。据加州大学洛杉矶分校布罗德干细胞研究中心介绍,这些细胞已经被重新编程回到胚胎状态,可以用来创造几乎任何其他类型的细胞。
