...gues were able to show that this mutant defect could be rescued by treatment with specific and unique RNA (ribonucleic acid) derived from the anterior endoderm (gut) of normal animal model embryos. They cloned the gene for this specific RNA, synthesizing a "bioactive" RNA that is capable of rescuing mutant he...Novocell awarded seminal stem cell patent
