Although wooly mammoths are long gone, their recovered ivory lives on as a legal alternative to banned elephant ivory. Scientists can now use lasers to differentiate between the two materials, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Colossus Bioscience creation of the woolly mice Tuesday in a news release and posted a scientific paper online detailing the achievement. Scientists implanted genetically modified embryos in female ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international team of specialists recently performed complex dental surgery on an 11,000-pound African elephant at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, who came to Florida in 1997 from Michael Jackson ...
