美国俄勒冈卫生科学大学近日宣布,成功混合6只不同恒河猴的基因,培育出了全球首批转基因猴。研究人员称:“(不同胚胎的)细胞从未融合,但它们确实待在一起,一起形成了组织和器官。”这是世界上首次用灵长类动物进行转基因试验,由于猴子在生物学上与人类相似,这项研究有助增加对试管受精、培育人造器官等技术的认识。 The United States Oregon Health Sciences University recently announced that the successful mixing of six different rhesus genes, bred the world’s first transgenic monkey. The researchers said: “Cells from different embryos never fused, but they do stay together to form tissues and organs.” This is the first time in the world that a genetically modified version of a primate animal has been used, Similar to humans in human science, this research has helped to increase understanding of techniques such as IVF and artificial organs.
