The world's first hybrid human-monkey bred in a lab in China.

Spanish scientist claims to have grown world's first hybrid human-monkey embryo in lab in China

 

Listen, it's that time again....

 

 

A Spanish scientist bred the world's first human-monkey hybrid in a lab in China that could have been born - but the process was aborted.

Scientists have created a hybrid embryo by genetically modifying monkey embryos to deactivate genes necessary for organ formation.

 

They then injected human stem cells - which are capable of creating all kinds of tissue - into the embryo.

While the groundbreaking experiment is an important step toward using animals for human organ transplants, it had to take place in China to avoid "legal issues."

 

The embryo was destroyed at day 14 of pregnancy - a point called the "red line" - meaning the embryo could not develop a central nervous system.

Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte was also responsible for creating the first human pig hybrid in 2017.

The scientist said his team had conducted "the first human and pig chimera experiment in the world," albeit with less success.

A genetic chimera, or chimerism, is a single organism composed of cells from different individuals.

 

"The human cells didn't last. We saw that they contributed very little to the development of the embryo: one human cell per 100,000 pig cells," said Professor Izpisua's colleague, University of California veterinarian Pablo Ross.

The team was then able to create chimeras between similar species, such as a rat and a mouse, which are five times closer than humans and pigs.

Project collaborator Estrella Núñez called the experiment "very promising."

"We are currently trying to not only move forward and continue experimenting with human cells, rodent cells and pig cells, but also non-human primates," - Professor Izpisua said.

"Our country is a pioneer and world leader in this research," - he added.

The team now intends to continue experimenting with human, rodent and pig cells, as well as non-human primates.

• The world's first hybrid human-monkey was created in China to avoid legal problems 
• Scientists have created an embryo by mixing monkey genes and human stem cells
• Stem cells are capable of forming any tissue and have been injected into the embryo
• This could lead to the use of animals for human organ transplants.

 

Which is. Welcome to the Star Wars movie:

 

 

Let's go further. If so much technology was "envisioned" in the 1980s, what guarantee do we have that there aren't Men In Black or ruling hybrids? They are "discovering" it all now. Isn't it interesting the fact of strange sounds around the world?

 

Playing with genes, playing with the creator. What else?

Is this what World War III will be for, so that people will become robocops?

Far it all goes, but also closer our King is.
