Scientists injected dozens of human stem cells into developing monkey embryos, and the resulting hybrids survived for up to 20 days in lab dishes.

These human-monkey embryos could someday serve as helpful models for human disease, embryonic development and aging, the study authors noted in a new report, published April 15 in the journal Cell. By zooming in on the interaction of human and animal cells in the embryos, scientists could also learn how to help human cells survive amongst animal cells, potentially advancing the effort to grow human organs in living animal models.

This is one of the major problems in medicine — organ transplantation,” said Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory of the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in La Jolla, Calif., and a co-author of the Cell study. “The demand for that is much higher than the supply.

An international team has put human cells into monkey embryos in hopes of finding new ways to produce organs for transplantation. But some ethicists still worry about how such research could go wrong.

A recent report notes that a hacking group is employing search engine optimization (SEO) tactics to trick users into attracting them to over 100000 legitimate-looking malicious websites through the Google browser.

The goal of this campaign is to install a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) on vulnerable devices, which would allow the deployment of subsequent attacks and infections. The eSentire signature experts detected this campaign, mentioning that malicious web pages appear in browser results when the user searches for terms related to invoices, receipts, questionnaires and resume.

Hackers use search redirection and direct download methods to redirect users to Trojan download sites identified as SolarMarket (also known as Jupyter, Yellow Cockatoo or Polazert). Users who visit a compromised website are infected almost immediately after entering these pages via a malicious PDF file.
