The first reproducible cloning of a mammal from adult cells, which has successfully yielded three generations and more than 50 identical cloned mice, was reported in the July 23, 1998, issue of Nature by an international team of scientists led by Ryuzo Yanagimachi, PhD, of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu.
The distinctive cloning technology, described as the Honolulu technique, could be more viable for the production of drugs using transgenic animals than earlier techniques because of its efficiency of reproducibility and, when used in genetic and embryonic development studies, will shed new light on the cellular and molecular activities involved in aging and ...
