BBC News - First 'mixed embryo' monkeys born: For the first time, scientists have produced monkeys composed of cells taken from separate embryos. The animals were born after researchers combined cells from different embryos and implanted them into female monkeys.
Such animals, which contain genetically distinct groups of cells from more than one organism, are called "chimeras." A US team, which has reported its work in the journal Cell, says the advance could have "enormous" importance for medical research.
