Scientists have made a leap in genetic engineering by pushing elephant cells into an embryonic-like state. This marks a major step toward recreating traits of the extinct woolly mammoth, offering new ...
Long before global warming was the biggest environmental issue, the planet was in the opposite kind of funk — an ice age lasting around 2.6 million years. During this time, starting about 700,000 ...
US biotechnology company Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences has a radical proposal: it wants to resurrect the woolly ...
To save elephant populations from extinction, the international community banned the sale of their ivory — but selling mammoth ivory remains legal, and the two are difficult to tell apart, especially ...
The start-up Colossal Biosciences aims to use gene-editing technology to bring back the woolly mammoth and other extinct species. Recently, the company achieved major milestones: last year, they ...
De-extinction technology could soon bring back lost species — or preserve endangered ones. In her new book, evolutionary biologist Beth Shapiro... If Science Could 'Clone A Mammoth,' Could It Save An ...
Harvard Medical School professor George M. Church didn’t think that by the end of his breakfast in Harvard Square, he would have $100,000 to bring back the wooly mammoth. In 2011, Church was meeting ...
Rebecca Shepherd receives funding from EPSRC and the FCDO. In recent years, the global trade in elephant ivory has faced significant restrictions in an effort to protect dwindling elephant populations ...
