A de-extinction company has successfully hatched live chicks from artificial eggshells, a significant milestone in biotechnology that could advance de-extinction efforts.
Colossal Biosciences successfully hatched 26 chickens using synthetic eggshells, a key step toward de-extinction of birds like the dodo and moa.
Colossal has developed an artificial eggshell that allows chicken embryos to develop normally outside the shell, potentially aiding de-extinction efforts and providing a tool for developmental biology research.
Colossal Biosciences announced a 3D-printed artificial eggshell to grow chicken embryos, aiming to revive extinct birds like the dodo and moa, though experts note prior similar work.
