Abstract
The possibility of animal cloning has recently received enormous interest and has generated many ideas of how diseases could be treated by using cloned cells or tissues. However, the efficiency of cloning is still exceedingly low, and the basic mechanisms of how adult cell nuclei are reprogrammed to carry out development anew, are not understood. We are studying the basic mechanisms of reprogramming in the mouse; this will lead to improved efficiency of cloning procedures, with many benefits in stem cell and tissue therapy.
