Moa Resurrection: Colossal Biosciences' Artificial Egg Breakthrough

Colossal Biosciences aims to resurrect the giant moa, a bird extinct for centuries, using an innovative artificial egg. Backed by filmmaker Peter Jackson, theyve successfully hatched chickens with this new design. The artificial egg, with a special silicone membrane, allows oxygen to pass through, improving embryo development. The team is currently studying the hatched chickens and plans to scale up the egg size for an emu, then a moa. This technology could also help critically endangered birds reproduce and potentially engineer birds to be more resilient. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
