Abstract

Revolutionary new opportunities to study human disease were heralded by the development of two new cell-based techniques. These are the methods able to obtain normal development after somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) [45] and to derive stem cells from human embryos [38]. Use of these two new techniques together will provide opportunities to study inherited human disease that are not available in any other way. Such cells would provide new opportunities to study the pathophysiology of inherited human diseases and in turn make it possible to use high-throughput screens to identify drugs able to prevent symptoms of the disease.
