First-ever artificial cell nuclei created in living egg from purified DNA injection

A research group is the first in the world to succeed in constructing artificial cell nuclei by injecting purified DNA solution instead of sperm into living mouse eggs.

The research revealed the conditions necessary for the cell nucleus to function.

The findings shed light on the mechanism, conditions and factors required for the acquisition of nuclear functions.

It is expected that further research will lead to the creation of a complete artificial cell nucleus.
