요약정보
Scientists in Korea have succeeded in cloning cats that glow red in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light.
What's important about this breakthrough is that it could pave the way for the treatment of hard-to-cure diseases.
Shin Haejoo tells us more.
No‚ your eyes aren't playing tricks on you.
These cats are indeed glowing in the dark.
In daylight‚ they appear to be like any normal white Turkish Angoras.
However‚ when the lights go out and the cats are exposed to ultraviolet beams‚ two out of three give a reddish glow.
They are what Korean scientists from Gyeongsang National University are calling the groundbreaking results of a successful cloning performed by altering a fluorescent protein gene.
Cloning experts say Red Fluorescent Protein genes were inserted into skin cells of Turkish Angoras.
Then‚ the altered cells were combined with the core of a cat's ovum.
Finally‚ nuclear transplantation results in a cloned fertilized egg‚ which was then implanted into a surrogate cat.
The research holds promise for genetic disease and stem cell research.
Scientists say cats and humans have 250 types of similar genetic diseases.
If they can convert the cats to be born with a specific human disease using the altered cloning technology‚ they could become models for future studies.
However‚ only time will tell whether the experimental cats can carry the altered genes through to the next generation.
If so‚ researchers are hopeful their studies will provide a solution to incurable illnesses in humans.
