Revolution in Biotechnology: On the way to Mamut, they create a Lanudo mouse

The true feat of biotechnology was informed on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, since the company Colossalwhich is stubborn to revive Lanudo MammutHe took a big step along this path: they generated a woolen mouse.

The triumph of genetic engineering, which gives good prospects, in 2028 a mammoth is reality.

To design Lanudo Mouse, scientists have found versions of Mission -Gene Mouse, and then used CRISPR to edit mouse embryos. Then these embryos were implanted by the mothers of deputy mice.

Dr. Bet Shapiro, Scientific Director of Colossal, commented on TechCrunch about this achievement that the fur of woolen mice has the color, texture and thickness, resembling mammoth features and which are genetically modified to survive in cold climate. Despite this, the company must first receive the approval of the institutional committee for the care and use of animals (ICUC), which guarantees ethical and humanitarian research with animals before conducting these experiments.

Shapiro said that the company needs to prove that the cold tolerance of modified mice to confirm whether these genes will improve the adaptation of the mammoth to the cold environment.

In addition to working in Mammuth Lanudo, the company seeks to return Tasmania Tiger and Dodo Bird.

Ben Lamm, co -founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences, commented that the creation of these mice is a “decisive moment” for the mission of the revival of these extinct animals.

“Animals were born healthy and had accurate phenotypes that we are biased,” Lamm said. “The only thing that was not deliberate was the factor of amazing. They are much more beautiful than we expected. “
