Introduction. <\/strong>Define Somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory technique for cloning for creating an ovum with a donor nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. A somatic\ncell is isolated and extracted from an adult female. <\/li>
  2. Then the\nnucleus and all of its DNA from an egg cell is removed.<\/li>
  3. After that\nthe nucleus from the somatic cell is transferred to the egg cell.<\/li>
  4. After being\ninserted into the egg, the somatic cell nucleus is reprogrammed by the host\ncell and is stimulated with a shock.<\/li>
  5. The egg\ncell, with its new nucleus, will behave just like a freshly fertilised egg. <\/li>
  6. It\ndeveloped into an embryo, which is implanted into a surrogate mother.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Potential Applications of Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Stem cell research-<\/strong> <\/strong>Somatic\ncell nuclear transplantation is being used in stem cell research. These cells\nare deemed to have a pluripotent potential because they have the ability to\ngive rise to all of the tissues found in an adult organism. This could be used\nin therapies or disease research. This allows stem cells to create any cell\ntype, which could then be transplanted to replace damaged or destroyed cells. <\/li>
    2. Organ transplants-<\/strong> <\/strong>Another\napplication of SCNT stem cell research to generate tissues or even organs for\ntransplant into the specific patient. The resulting cells would be genetically\nidentical to the somatic cell donor, thus avoiding any complications from\nimmune system rejection.<\/li>
    3. Therapeutic applications-<\/strong> SCNT have ample scope of success in therapy and\ncuring diseases. It can be used to treat diseases like diabetes, Parkinson\u2019s\ndisease etc. In 2014, the New York Stem Cell Foundation was successful in\ncreating SCNT stem cells derived from adult somatic cells. One of these lines\nof stem cells was derived from the donor cells of a type 1 diabetic. These\ninsulin producing cells could be used for replacement therapy in diabetics,\ndemonstrating real SCNT stem cell therapeutic potential.<\/li>
    4. Reproductive cloning-<\/strong> Somatic\nCell Nuclear Transfer technique is currently the basis for cloning animals\n(such as the famous Dolly the sheep), and has been theoretically proposed as a\npossible way to clone humans. But there are moral and ethical objections\nagainst reproductive cloning.  In 2018,\nthe first successful cloning of primates using somatic cell nuclear transfer, (the\nsame method as Dolly the sheep), was successfully done with the birth of two\nlive female clones .<\/li>
    5. Preservation of endangered species-<\/strong> Interspecies nuclear transfer (iSCNT) is a means of\nsomatic cell nuclear transfer used to facilitate the rescue of endangered species<\/strong>, or even to restore species after their extinction<\/strong>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Somatic cell nuclear transfer can be both boon and bane. It might help in many ways but it also has its share of effects which might include reduction of gene diversity, Nature\u2019s rule like survival of fittest, ethical and moral issues. If got into wrong hands (Terrorists, crime syndicate) it might prove to be a disaster in waiting. Thus caution is needed with proper regulation for its usage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
