Human Embryos Cloned From Skin Cells
Date: 22.1.2008
A California company reported today that it has, for the first time, **cloned human embryos** using DNA **from adult skin cells**. That's "an important first step" toward generating **embryonic stem** (ES) cell lines from such embryos, which can be used to study and treat diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's, says stem cell researcher George Daley of Harvard Medical School in Boston.
