Biotech startup Colossal has developed an artificial eggshell allowing avian embryos to develop outside a natural shell. This technology aids their de-extinction goals for species like the dodo and moa, and may also benefit biological research.
Colossal Biosciences has successfully hatched 26 chickens using 3D-printed artificial eggs, a breakthrough they believe could aid in resurrecting extinct bird species like the dodo and moa.
Colossal Biosciences announces it has hatched chicken chicks from an artificial egg, a step towards de-extincting the moa bird. Experts call for peer-reviewed evidence.
Colossal Biosciences has successfully hatched chicken chicks in 3D-printed artificial eggs, a proof of concept for their ambitious de-extinction projects, including the dodo and woolly mammoth. The technology aims to support embryos of extinct species, though critics raise ethical and ecological concerns.
