The diagram depicts the removal of the donor nucleus for schematic purposes ; in practice usually the whole donor cell is transferred. In genetics and developmental biology, somatic-cell nuclear transfer ( SCNT ) is a laboratory technique for creating a clone embryo with a donor nucleus ( see process below ).

As a consequence, clones such as Dolly that are born from SCNT are not perfect copies of the donor of the nucleus.

For example, to treat a man with Parkinson's disease, a cell nucleus from one of his cells would be transplanted by SCNT into an egg cell from an egg donor, creating a unique lineage of stem cells almost identical to the patient's own cells.

Animal cloning, through somatic cell nuclear transfer ( SCNT ), allows for genetic replication of selected animals.

* Cloning: present uses and promises National Institutes of Health, Paper giving background information on cloning in general and SCNT from The Office of Science Policy Analysis.

As the procedure currently cannot be automated, but has to be performed manually under a microscope, SCNT is very resource intensive.

SCNT involving human cells is currently legal for research purposes in the United Kingdom, having been incorporated into the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 in 2001.

The Suez Canal Net Tonnage ( SCNT ) is derived with a number of modifications from the former net register tonnage of the Moorsom System and was established by the International Commission of Constantinople in its Protocol of 18 December 1873.

Both processes use the same first step: the creation of a nuclear transferred embryo, most likely via SCNT.

Only a handful of the labs in the world are currently using SCNT techniques in human stem cell research.

These have led to some individuals and organizations who are not opposed to human embryonic stem cell research to be concerned about, or opposed to, SCNT research.

Some researchers use SCNT in stem cell research.

Presently, no human stem cell lines have been derived from SCNT research.

For example, if a person with Parkinson's disease donated his or her somatic cells, then the stem cells resulting from SCNT would have genes that contribute to Parkinson's disease.

SCNT may also be occurring in China.

In 2005, a South Korean research team led by Professor Hwang Woo-suk, published claims to have derived stem cell lines via SCNT, but supported those claims with fabricated data.

It remains a possibility, though critical adjustments will be required to overcome current limitations during early embryonic development in human SCNT.

For example, Dolly the sheep was born after 277 eggs were used for SCNT, which created 29 viable embryos.

Those who hold this concern often advocate for strong regulation of SCNT to preclude implantation of any derived products for the intention of human reproduction, or its prohibition.

SCNT requires human eggs, which can only be obtained from women.

Permission must be obtained from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in order to perform or attempt SCNT.

However, in 2002, a moratorium on United States federal funding for SCNT prohibits funding the practice for the purposes of research.

Thus, though legal, SCNT cannot be federally funded.

" This phrase may include SCNT, depending on interpretation.

The Council of Europe's Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine and its Additional Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine, on the Prohibition of Cloning Human Being appear to ban SCNT of human beings.

The state then steps in and forgives ( through a tax credit ) some or all of the taxes that the donor has given to the organization.

During this period the church began to discourage all non-religious human images-the Emperor and donor figures counting as religious.

The bill would impose new donor and contribution disclosure requirements on nearly all organizations that air political ads independently of candidates or the political parties.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center ( LRMC ) has become one of the most active organ donor hospitals in all of Germany, which otherwise has one of the lowest organ donation participation rates in the Eurotransplant organ network.

* in transplant surgery, the donor organ ( taken out of the donor's body ) is inserted into the recipient's body and reconnected to the recipient in all necessary ways ( blood vessels, ducts, etc.

The Minister of Overseas Development, Barbara Castle, set a standard in interest relief on loans to developing nations which resulted in changes to the loan policies of many donor countries, “ a significant shift in the conduct of rich white nations to poor brown ones .” Loans were introduced to developing countries on terms that were more favourable to them than those given by governments of all other developed countries at that time.

This made the Beetle one of the most popular " donor " vehicles of all time.

The phenotypes of all the donor cells being tested are shown in a chart.

Of all the early mayors, the one who perhaps had the greatest impact on Round Rock at the time, and certainly the greatest flair for business, was Louis M. Henna — a entrepreneur, businessman, civic volunteer, major donor, and politician.

This method allows all organ recipients to get a transplant even if their living donor is not a match to them.

at all points from initial collection from a donor right through to either transfusion to a recipient or disposal.

It is confirmed elsewhere in the Vorkosigan Saga that ovum cells and sperm are not necessarily required for reproduction ; all that is needed are any healthy cells from the donor ( s ).

Modern Caterham kits differ from the majority of kit cars as all parts are supplied ready to assemble, not requiring a donor car, fabrication or any special skills.

Each man's blood is tested, one at a time, and the donor is immediately killed if his blood recoils from the wire ; fourteen in all, including Connant and Garry, are revealed as aliens.

With the exception of small differences in trim, the Outback shared almost all of its components with the Legacy donor model.

Leading transplant centers currently perform testing for all five of these HLA genes before declaring that a donor and recipient are HLA-identical.

For example, a person with situs inversus who requires a heart transplant needs all the vessels to the transplant donor heart reattached to their existing ones.

Each donor receives a tax form on whose back an accountant will have done all the necessary calculations for a tax break, and a document stating how the money given will be used by the Restos.

First, although contributions are not deductible from the donor's federal income tax liability, many states provide state income tax deductions for all or part of the contributions of the donor.

Once suitable donor organs are present, the surgeon makes an incision starting above and finishing below the sternum, cutting all the way to the bone.

The incidence of intravaginal insemination by sperm donor is not known, because the arrangement is usually informal and all parties prefer to keep the arrangement confidential.

This budget represented more money contributed to fight AIDS globally than all other donor countries combined.

If the soil and groundwater contain enough organic electron donor and the appropriate strains of Dehalococcoides, this process can proceed until all of the chlorine atoms are removed, and TCE is dechlorinated completely via ( DCE ) and vinyl chloride ( VC ) to ethene, a harmless end-product.
