Vocabulary
SCNT - Somatic cell nuclear transfer
The nucleus of a somatic (body) cell is transferred to the cytoplasm of an enucleated egg in a procedure known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. The primary biological goal of SCNT is to reverse the differentiated status of a somatic cell in order to produce blastocysts from which embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be obtained for therapeutic or reproductive cloning.
Necrosis
It is the accidental death of the cells from the acute injury.
Bax and Bak
These are two nuclear-encoded proteins found in higher eukaryotes that can penetrate the mitochondrial outer membrane and cause apoptotic cell death.
