jan 1, 1996 - Nuclear Transfer from Laboratory Cells

Description:

Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell used a nucleus from sheep cells which were kept alive in a lab. They put these in sheep egg cells and lambs were born.

Proved cultured cells can give nucleus for cloning via nuclear transfer. Also gave light to the idea that it could be possible to use modified cells to create animals. (cows that make insulin for diabetics in their milk)
