Scientists can also induce "reprogramming" in adult somatic cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer technology (24)--whereby a nucleus from a mature adult cell is placed in an enucleated egg, that nucleus is "reprogrammed," and then proceeds to make a complete new individual--"a la Dolly." Dolly, the cloned sheep from Great Britain, was derived from a nucleus that was taken from a mature udder cell and placed into the enucleated egg from the same individual--in this case, Dolly's mother.
