The South Korean team extracted the genetic material from an unfertilized egg and replaced it with the DNA-containing nucleus of a skin cell. With a little scientific encouragement, the altered egg grew, as an embryo would. However, its growth halted at a very early stage when the scientists removed its stem cells for culture.

What the South Korean team has been able to do is create human embryonic stem cells with the genetic material of particular patients. With cloning, also called nuclear transfer, the scientists take a cell from a patient, remove the cell's nucleus containing the genetic material, and place this nucleus in an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed. This hybrid cell is then stimulated to grow for several days, until it becomes a nearly featureless ball of about 200 cells, a type of embryo known as a blastocyst.
