For the first time, scientists have created human embryos that are genetic copies of living people and used them to make stem cells -- a feat that paves the way for treating a range of diseases with personalized body tissues but also ignites fears of human cloning.

For the first time, scientists have created human embryonic stem cells by transferring the nucleus of a mature cell into an egg.

An image from the journal "Cell" shows the removal of genetic material from a human egg, the first step in creating embryonic stem cells from cloned embryos.

A class of water-loving, jelly-like materials with uses ranges ranging from the mundane, such as superabsorbent diaper liners, to the sophisticated, such as soft contact lenses, could be tapped for a new line of serious work: testing the biological effects of nanoparticles now being eyed for a large variety of uses.
