美国在2017年初对基因编辑技术谨慎放开后，国内科学家就开始在该领域内迈出大步伐。据美国有线电视资讯网（CNN）报道，俄勒冈卫生科学大学的科学家舒赫拉特•米塔利波夫（Shoukhrat Mitalipov）团队使用基因编辑技术进行了美国首例转基因人类胚胎实验。由于牵扯道德伦理问题，人类胚胎研究屡屡处于争议之中。迄今，只有中美两国实施过人类胚胎基因编辑。 The MIT Technology Review published on Wednesday a news report about the first-known experiment to create genetically modified human embryos in the United States using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR. 《麻省理工技术评论》杂志16日报道，美国使用基因编辑工具CRISPR进行了本国首例转基因人类胚胎实验。 Shoukhrat Mitalipov, director of the Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy, reportedly led the new research. Mitalipov and the university would not confirm details of the research to CNN. 据报道，俄勒冈卫生科学大学胚胎干细胞与基因治疗中心主任舒赫拉特•米塔利波夫是这项新研究的领头人。舒赫拉特及校方不愿向CNN透露研究的细节。 "Results of the peer-reviewed study are expected to be published soon in a scientific journal. No further information will be provided before then," according to an emailed statement from the university's press office. Another researcher cited in the MIT report, the Salk Institute's Jun Wu, did not reply to CNN's request for comment. |
