What is another word for SCNT?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛssˌiːˌɛntˈiː] (IPA) 
SCNT is an acronym for Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer - a scientific procedure that involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. There are several synonyms for SCNT, including somatic cell cloning, cell nuclear transfer, and nuclear reprogramming. These terms all describe the same basic process of transferring the genetic material from one cell into another in order to create a new organism. While SCNT has been used successfully in cloning animals, it remains a controversial topic due to ethical concerns over the use of the technique in humans. Despite this, research on SCNT continues to advance in the field of regenerative medicine.
