"Biotech Breakthrough: Scientists Successfully Reprogram Elephant Cells for Mammoth Revival"

TL;DR Summary
Biotech company Colossal Biosciences has made a significant breakthrough in its mission to revive the woolly mammoth from extinction by creating stem cells from an Asian elephant. The company aims to genetically engineer these cells with mammoth genes and then implant the embryo into an elephant surrogate. While some scientists express concerns about the ethical and environmental implications, Colossal argues that bringing back the woolly mammoth could help combat climate change by restoring its habitat and preventing permafrost thawing.
