Ridgewood NJ, Bioscience and genetics company Colossal recently raised $15 million to recreate the wooly mammoth. The project involves taking skin cells from Asian elephants and reprogramming them into more versatile stem cells that carry mammoth DNA, then carrying embryos to term in a surrogate mother or artificial womb. The researchers hope they have their first set of calves in six years. While reintroducing herds of elephant-mammoth hybrids to the Arctic tundra may help convert landscapes to grassland and keep the ground cool, some scientists argue that it is not the most effective way to restore the tundra.

Scientists hail the most ‘advanced anti-ageing serum’ in the world

New research suggests skincare tailored to individuals’ DNA may be the best way to combat the appearance of ageing

Those who believe that beauty is only skin deep may need to think again.

Clinical trials over 18 months suggested that ‘Geneu’ – pronounced ‘gene you’ reduces fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30 per cent within just 12 weeks.

But, intriguingly, it has not been created by a cosmetics giant, but by one of Britain’s leading scientists.
