From somatic cell to genetically-modified pig

medical illustration of The first step in obtaining a clone of an organism. A somatic cell (or its nucleus) is obtained from the organism and transferred into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte. Subsequent steps include reprogramming of the DNA in the nucleus by oocyte factors (a passive step) and induction of cell division through delivery of electric pulses.

The images celebrate how their breakthrough was applied in the development of a highly effective Covid-19 vaccine strategy.
