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

Transferencia de núcleos procedentes de blastómeros embrionarios o de células fetales en cultivo a óvulos no fecundados enucleados y a veces, a zigotos enucleados. El "progenitor" de los clones es el embrión o feto. 2, record 1, Spanish, - paraclonaci%C3%B3n
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
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
