Chimeric Organisms Hold Promise for Science and Medicine (VIDEO)
Caption
Rapid advances in the ability to grow cells, tissues and organs of one species within an organism of a different species offer an unprecedented opportunity for tackling longstanding scientific mysteries and addressing pressing human health problems, particularly the need for transplantable organs and tissues. Here, scientists at the Salk Institute report breakthroughs in the race to integrate stem cells from one species into the early-stage development of another.
