World’s First Monkey Pig Hybrids Developed By Chinese Scientists Written on 12/09/2019 Vinod Kumar kushwaha Monkey Pig Hybrids Researchers from China have successfully developed Monkey Pig hybrids as part of research into the growth of human organs for transplantation in animals. According to reports, the two chimera piglets died within a week of being born. Scientists reported that both were found to have DNA from macaque monkeys in their liver, spleen, heart, lung, & skin. They were bred from approximately 4,000 embryos, which were implanted into a sow using In-Vito Fertilization. A team of scientists from the State Key Laboratory of Stem Cell and Reproductive Biology in Beijing developed the  Monkey Pig Hybrids. They  genetically modified monkey cells to produce a fluorescent protein allowing the researchers to track the cells and descendant cells. These  modified cells  were injected into the pig embryos five days after fertilization....
