Stem Cells—Therapeutic Cloning Techniques Advance, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

There are two distinct types of embryonic cloning: “reproductive” cloning and “therapeutic” cloning.  While they have similar beginnings, the desired end results are vastly different. The clearest path to “therapeutic” cloning may lie in “autologous transplantation.”  In this method, a tiny amount of a patient’s muscle or other tissue is harvested.  This sample’s genetic material is then de-differentiated; that is, reduced to a simple, unprogrammed state.  The patient’s DNA sample is then inserted into an egg to grow a blastocyst.  The blastocyst is manipulated so that its stem cells differentiate into the desired type of tissue, such as heart tissue. …
