Nuclear transfer cloning could eventually make it possible to use cell samples from a burn or accident victim to generate his or her own replacement skin, cartilage, and bone tissue. The same technique may produce cells that can be used in cancer therapy, or to regenerate retinal or spinal cord tissue. 2, record 1, English, - nuclear%20transfer%20cloning

Paraclonación: por transferencia de núcleos de células embrionarias o fetales de un cultivo primario o de un cultivo celular. Estos núcleos se transfieren a un óvulo enucleado o a un zigoto al que se le hayan eliminado los pronúcleos. Este óvulo receptor aporta mitocondrias, y en el caso de zigoto, algo del espermatozoide. El resultado: individuos casi idénticos entre sí, pero diferentes de los progenitores del embrión que aportó el núcleo transferido. Se pierde una generación, ya que el embrión donante del núcleo se destruye. Los individuos nacidos así se parecerían (desde el punto de vista del genoma nuclear) al individuo que hubiera surgido del embrión destruido. 3, record 1, Spanish, - paraclonaci%C3%B3n

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning ... is accomplished by taking two cells – an egg cell from a female and a somatic cell from the person or animal to be cloned. The nucleus of the egg cell is removed and discarded. The nucleus from the somatic cell is then transferred to the [enucleated] egg cell. The egg cell and its new nucleus are fused together with the expectation it will grow. If cell division and growth is accomplished, the clone’s life has begun. 3, record 2, English, - somatic%20cell%20nuclear%20transfer%20cloning
