Scientists put human genes in monkey brains to make them twice as big.
Scientists xowallet put human genes in monkey brains to make them twice as big.
An experiment that made many people couldn't help but think that it was similar to the immortal movie. "Planet of the Apes", German scientists from the Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and Japanese researchers from the Central Institute for Experimental Animals, published their findings in the journal Science in June. Doubled by connection with human genes Causing some to panic that it would make the monkeys too intelligent
During the study, Japanese and German researchers injected a gene called ARHGAP11B, which carries stem cells in the human brain into the fetus of the Marmoset, a type of ape with. Settlements in the americas
Scientists soon found that apes' brains became more human-like, with the development of a larger and more advanced new cortex (Neocortex, part of the mammalian brain). Where the new cortex is the brain region that controls cognition and language
The researchers say the neocortex is the newest part of the brain, a sign that a gene called ARHGAP11B may allow the brain to grow during human evolutionary evolution.
According to images published by the researchers, the monkey brain was modified by inserting a human gene. It will almost double in size by about 100 days of gestation.
But scientists eventually chose to abort the monkey's unborn child because "Unexpected results" from this experiment
The report sparked a wave of widespread mention of the movie Planet of the Apes, and its predecessor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, tells the story of a monkey who is genetically modified and chases humans. And take over the world |
