Scientists Made a Mouse That's 4 Percent Human
It's the highest level of human cells in a chimera yet, and a major step toward a new medical reality.
- Scientists have created a human-mouse chimera with 4 percent human cells—the most of any chimera to date.
- While the embryos showed traces of human cells in most kinds of tissue, including the heart and liver, their germline tissue (which goes on to become sperm or eggs) contained none.
- Their work was published in the journal Science Advances.
