Existen dos modalidades de clonación [...] la clonación reproductiva y la terapéutica o celular. La clonación reproductiva está dirigida al nacimiento de individuos completos genéticamente idénticos. Implica la implantación del embrión clonado en el útero de una madre, el desarrollo del mismo y el nacimiento de un individuo. La clonación terapéutica no llega tan lejos. Está limitada a la fase celular y tiene como principal finalidad la obtención de las denominadas células madres. 2, record 2, Spanish, - clonaci%C3%B3n%20de%20embriones

La clonación terapéutica consiste en fabricar células madre del paciente por el siguiente procedimiento. Se toma una célula suya cualquiera [...] Le sacamos el núcleo con los cromosomas dentro. A continuación obtenemos un óvulo sin fecundar [...] y tiramos su núcleo con sus cromosomas. Metemos el núcleo de la célula del paciente dentro del óvulo. Obtenemos así un óvulo [...] que tiene completados todos los pares de cromosomas. De alguna forma se consigue que el óvulo empiece a dividirse. [...] los descendientes de este óvulo son células madre que tienen el mismo ADN que el paciente [...] y por lo tanto no causarán rechazo cuando se le inyecten. [...] la lista de enfermedades devastadoras que se cree que se podrían curar o aliviar con técnicas similares incluye la diabetes, cirrosis, leucemia, osteoporosis [...] y otras. 3, record 3, Spanish, - clonaci%C3%B3n%20terap%C3%A9utica

Background: Some patients with inflammatory bowel disease have anemia that is not responsive to iron administration and not due to folate or B12 deficiency. One hypothesis is that inflammatory cytokines decrease erythropoietin production and create resistance to the effect of erythropoietin, leading to a relative deficiency of this hormone. This study was a randomized, double-blind trial of recombinant erythropoietin (epoietin) in treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease and anemia refractory to iron therapy. 3, record 6, English, - recombinant%20erythropoietin
