Summary:
Researchers revealed that they have successfully cloned embryos of rhesus monkeys and obtained stem cells from them that could be turned into heart and nerve tissue - a laboratory breakthrough that could one day lead to similar work in human beings. The study renews the belief, previously dashed by fraud, that a similar process using cloned human embryos could create transplant tissue genetically matched to patients, thus avoiding the risk of rejection.
