De-extinction startup hatches chicks in artificial eggshell

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Colossal Biosciences has successfully hatched live chicks using a 3D-printed artificial eggshell system, a development they claim could advance their de-extinction goals. While the company views this as a significant step towards engineering animals like the extinct moa, independent scientists are skeptical, noting the system lacks crucial biological components of a true artificial egg. Concerns also persist regarding the feasibility of de-extinction and the environmental viability for resurrected species. AI

IMPACT This development in bio-engineering and artificial egg technology could eventually influence AI applications in biological research and simulation.
