Breakthrough of interspecific chimerism: blocking apoptosis.
Academic Article
Overview
abstract
On January 28 in Nature online, Zheng et al. (Nature, 2021 (Online ahead of print)) reported that they developed an ingenious method of interspecies PSC co-culture system in vitro which unfolded interspecific cell competition. This study paves the way for discovering the mechanism of interspecific chimera and for further interspecific organogenesis between evolutionarily distant species.
