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 ...

After an intense study of the mammoth's genetic code, scientists have engineered 'woolly' mice with altered fur thickness, color, and texture to recreate the extinct elephant's adaptations to the cold ...

Selling elephant ivory—a hard white material from elephant tusks, for which elephants are often killed—is illegal. Selling ivory collected from the remains of extinct Mammoths, however, is—somehow—not ...

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 ...

When scientists sliced into a block of Siberian permafrost and pulled out a woolly mammoth nicknamed Yuka, they expected to ...

Researchers say they have developed a new way to distinguish between legal mammoth ivory and illegal elephant ivory. Elephant ivory is often passed off as mammoth ivory when being imported. As the ...

The idea of bringing extinct species back to life sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. But researchers at Colossal Biosciences are committed to doing it. Using high-tech genetic engineering, ...

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 ...

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 ...
