这些“假”胚胎与皮肤细胞等正常细胞在分裂和控制DNA方面有很多共同点。
The researchers reasoned that if injecting sperm into mouse pseudo-embryos could produce healthy babies, then it might one day be possible to achieve a similar result in humans using cells that are not from eggs.
研究者因此认为,如果向老鼠的“假”胚胎中注射精子能够制造出健康小鼠,那么将来通过使用非卵子细胞也可能在人类生育问题上取得同样结果。
In the mouse experiments, the odds of achieving a successful pregnancy was one in four.
在使用老鼠进行的实验中,怀孕成功率为四分之一。
Dr Tony Perry, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "This is the first time that anyone has been able to show that anything other than an egg can combine with a sperm in this way to give rise to offspring.
研究者之一托尼-佩里博士在接受BBC资讯网站采访时说:“卵子以外的细胞能以此种方式与精子结合,并且孕育出新生命,这尚属首次。”
"It overturns nearly 200 years of thinking."
“它颠覆了人们近200年来的认识。”
Those baby mice were healthy, had a normal life expectancy and had healthy pups of their own.
实验中诞生的老鼠们都很健康,有着正常的预期寿命,并能繁衍健康的后代。
