The development of the fertilized zygote into a complex organism has traditionally thought to be a unidirectional process, with cells in the developing fetus becoming gradually more committed to a specific tissue type. The recent development of mammalian cloning by nuclear transfer (NT) suggests that the mammalian oocyte has the remarkable ability to relieve the constraints imposed by cellular differentiation and return an adult nucleus to a totipotent, embryonic state. Thus, cloning by NT provides a unique opportunity to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which an adult cell can be returned to an undifferentiated state, a process termed developmental reprogramming. The combination of developmental reprogramming/nuclear transfer with embryonis stem cell technologies offers exciting medical possibilities with respect to understanding and treating human diseas.
