Colossal Bioscience's project to revive mammoths is closer than ever, as it recently produced important stem cells to progress their work.
Scientists say they are closer than ever to reviving the woolly mammoth . Colossal Biosciences has been working on its project to revive the mammoth. The company shared its hopes to resurrect the mammoth within four years back at the start of 2023, and now it has created important stem cells that are vital for the project to work as planned. Being closer than ever to reviving a long-extinct species does not mean there aren't still tons of steps to complete.
And while the resurrection won't bring back the exact same mammoths that we know from history — they'll be more like mammoth and elephant hybrids — it's a huge step forward in genetics. This project is the foundation for other similar projects that will hopefully help correct humanity's role in the ongoing extinction issues that the wildlife around our planet are experiencing.
