Dec 07, 2006 (The Age - ABIX via COMTEX) -- University of New South Wales researcher, Kuldip Sidhu, hopes to make use of newly-passed laws permitting therapeutic cloning. Sidhu intends to be among the first Australian medical researchers to apply for a licence to produce a cloned human embryo. His team will take a cell nucleus from a person with type-1 diabetes and will implant it in an emptied egg. Embryonic stem cells will be extracted from the cloned embryo and studied as they develop into insulin-producing cells. Sidhu aims to determine why such cells self-destruct in the bodies of people with diabetes, with the ultimate aim of developing a protective mechanism to save the cells.
