"Reviving Extinct Woolly Mammoths: Breakthrough in Elephant Stem Cell Creation"

TL;DR Summary
Colossal Biosciences, a startup aiming to revive the woolly mammoth, has made a significant breakthrough in creating reprogrammed elephant stem cells, bringing the revival of extinct species closer to reality. The company hopes to use this technology to bolster biodiversity and aid species on the brink of extinction, with plans to bring back the woolly mammoth and the dodo. By 2028, they aim to create a mammoth-like, gene-edited creature through IVF. This breakthrough could also aid in studying and preserving endangered species, including elephants, and offers potential insights into the developmental biology of elephants and extinct species.
