A paper published in the scientific journal Cell on April 15, detailed how the researchers grew the mixed embryos – or chimeras – in a test tube for up to 20 days. Scientists injected human stem cells into the early-stage embryos of the crab-eating macaque. They hope the study will provide better models for testing drugs and potentially be used to grow human organs for transplant. However, the research has also raised concerns within the scientific community about potential legal and ethical challenges in the future. • Video source: Weizhi Ji, Kunming University of Science and Technology • Read more: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/scien... • Support us: • https://subscribe.scmp.com • Follow us on: • Website: https://www.scmp.com • Facebook: / scmp • Twitter: / scmpnews • Instagram: / scmpnews • Linkedin: / south-china-morning-post
