Scientists Just Created a ‘Woolly Mouse’ With Mammoth-Like Fur. The de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences wants to bring back the woolly mammoth—starting with a very furry mouse.

It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically modified ...

Breakthrough Mouse Study Hints At Psychedelic Compound Yielding Possible Anti-Aging Drugs In A Nutshell Lab studies found ...

The long fur was created through the simultaneous editing of as many as seven genes, all with a known connection to hair growth, color, and/or texture. But don't think that this is a sort of mouse ...

Colossal Biosciences, which aims to "de-extinct" woolly mammoths through genetic modification, have taken a meaningful step toward achieving its goal — creating an entirely new species called ...

Its evidence: genetically engineering mice to have mammoth-like fur. To engineer the woolly mouse, the company’s scientists found mouse versions of mammoth genes and then used CRISPR to edit ...

The woolly mouse's fluffy fur isn't the only alteration Colossal made. Genes associated with body weight and fat metabolism have also been edited in the mice to better mirror that in mammoths.

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Hong Kong have created a mouse with substituted genes ...

The compound SCD-153 accelerates the regrowth of mouse fur compared to control experiments using a solvent and 4-methyl itaconate. Credit Source: PNAS Nexus 2023, 2 (1), pgac297 DOI: 10.1093 ...

A mouse created with stem cells from a choanoflagellate Sox gene, left, and a “wild type” mouse. The lab-induced stem cells had genetic markers like dark eyes.
