Should we bring back extinct animals? Wrong question. Why are we bringing back extinct animals when we have animals, plants, and fungi that are going extinct now, daily? By 2050, up to half of all ...

The woolly mammoth may surprisingly have regularly interbred with a completely different and much larger elephant species, researchers now find. Woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) roamed the ...

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 ...

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colossal Biosciences (“Colossal”), the world’s first de-extinction company, announces today that their Woolly Mammoth team has achieved a global-first iPSC (induced ...

What is a Woolly Mammoth? The woolly mammoth was a very large elephant-like mammal that inhabited the Earth during the Ice Age and is now extinct. It survived in extremely cold conditions and was well ...

In a lab far from the woolly mammoth’s icy plains, researchers from Colossal Biosciences have successfully brought a tiny “woolly mouse” to life. Here’s what it could mean for de-extinction. A tiny, ...

After the birth of three pups has been called the "de-extinction" of a species not seen on Earth in more than 10,000 years, the company that made it possible has it sights set on resurrecting more ...

Colossal Biosciences caught our imagination – and elicited memories of "Jurassic Park" – when the Dallas-based biotech company announced back in 2021 it would use cutting-edge genetics editing ...

Scientists working to unlock the secrets of de-extinction recently announced what they say is a turning point for the movement: the creation of transgenic mice with long, luxurious golden locks of ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have extracted and sequenced the oldest known RNA molecules in the world (Cell 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.10.025). The ancient RNA (aRNA) comes from skin and ...
