China's Groundbreaking Achievement: The Birth of a Fluorescent-Green Chimeric Monkey

Scientists in China have successfully created the first-ever live birth of a chimeric monkey using stem cells. The monkey, created from two genetically distinct embryos, displayed fluorescent green eyes and fingertips due to a fluorescence green protein introduced during the experiment. Unfortunately, the monkey lived for only 10 days before being euthanized. The researchers believe this breakthrough has significant implications for stem cell research, neurological disease studies, genetic engineering, and species conservation among primates. They hope to further study embryo survival during pregnancy and improve their line of chimera monkeys.
