Scientists started an important study in 2021 for the project to bring extinct mammoths back to life. In this sense, the company Colossal Biosciences announced that they have crossed an important threshold in the project of bringing the Mammoths back to life. So, can the Jurassic Park nightmare come true with this project?
The project to bring mammoths back to life has crossed an important threshold!
Colossal Biosciences took the first step last year in the project, which started to raise funds in 2021. The company set out with the goal of bringing mammoths back to life within four years. In this sense, the company has crossed the stem cell development threshold. So, what does Colossal Biosciences aim for with this project?
The company aims to bring extinct animals back to life with the project. The reason why mammoths were chosen here is that they became extinct between 8 and 10 thousand years ago. It is possible to find mammoth fossils with preserved DNA, especially in Siberia. It is estimated that the last mammoths lived in the Siberian region.
Scientists managed to develop stem cells in this sense from DNA samples taken from mammoths. Now the new goal is to create a hybrid species between elephant and mammoth with these stem cells. In short, the project to bring back mammoths with stem cells will actually be realized through a hybrid species.
How was the world formed? Great discovery from ALMA!
ALMA, the world’s largest telescope “How was the world formed?” Did you find the answer to your question? ALMA discovered water vapor three times larger than the Earth’s oceans.
If the project to bring extinct animals back to life is successful, it will be easy for humanity to open the door to a new era in stem cell and genetic therapy. However, some scientists think that it is important who makes the decision to bring extinct animals back to life.
It is important that the process is carried out within ethical limits in order to avoid a disaster. Again, the success of the project is also important for protecting endangered animals. At the same time, animals that became extinct in the 20th century may have the chance to rejoin the ecosystem.
In this sense, Colossal Biosciences expects to successfully complete the project in 2027. As you know, Steven Spilberg’s Jurassic Park movie was about a doctor and his research team who brought dinosaurs back with a similar technology.
So, is there a possibility that we will encounter a Jurassic Park-like disaster with the resuscitation project for extinct animals? We are waiting your comments.
