TORONTO A new study explores how scientists successfully created the first embryo made with combined human and non-human primate cells. The findings, published in the journal “Cell”, may “constitute a promising strategy for various regenerative medicine applications,” including organ and tissue generation for transplants, the study says. Led by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California, the study takes the “next step in chimeric organisms – organisms that contain cells from two or more species to understand a host of diseases and address the severe shortage in donor organs,” according to a release. “These chimeric approaches could be really very useful for advancing biomedical research not just at the very earliest stage of life, but also the latest stage of life,” said study lead Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte in the release.
