Wellness Breakthrough cure for baldness: 100% of male mice regrew fur with new treatment By Diana Bruk Published June 19, 2025, 2:00 p.m. ET ...

For testing purposes, the mouse also has a very significant advantage: mutations that change its fur are easy to spot. Over the century-plus that we've been using mice for research, people have ...

In addition to remaining alive for longer, mice that received psilocybin also looked younger than control mice, exhibiting “improvements in overall fur quality” and less graying.

There is, it seems, still a way to go. True, the fur of these mice is long, curly and blondish. In that way, it does resemble the coats of woolly mammoths preserved in permafrost.

In all, the team created 32 woolly mice, each of which varied slightly in appearance, but reflected the traits the scientists predicted. Shapiro says there were no misfires or surprises in the lot.

Colossal Biosciences, known for its outlandish goal to resurrect the woolly mammoth by 2028, is claiming steady progress. Its evidence: genetically engineering mice to have mammoth-like fur.

Hoping to bring the giant, ancient animal back from extinction, scientists have created a far smaller woolly creature. Woolly mice have some of the key traits of mammoths, including their thick ...

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 ...

How to make a woolly mouse To create the woolly mouse, Colossal said it had identified genetic variants in which mammoths differed from their closest living relative: the Asian elephant. The ...

Mice are common rodents throughout the world, across 1,100 species. Though they all have varying characteristics, the majority of them are best described as small, fast, and furry!
