iPSC cells are special cells that can become any type of cell in the body and propagate endlessly. This breakthrough with elephant iPSCs doesn’t just help our de-extinction work—it opens doors to studying diseases, testing new medicines, creating synthetic embryos, and even helping endangered species through advanced cell therapies.

Special thanks to Springer Nature for partnering with us on the UK premiere of Hunt for the Oldest DNA and Magdalena Skipper for hosting an insightful Q&A with Beth Shapiro and Ben Lamm. ??
On 2 October Nature co-hosted the UK premiere of the Hunt for the Oldest DNA -– the epic story of efforts by Eske Willerslev and colleagues to sequence ancient DNA from sediments in Greenland. With our partners Colossal Biosciences we held a special film screening at the Science Museum in London with a drinks reception attended by journalists, scientists, and editors followed after the premiere by a fascinating panel discussion, featuring Colossal experts and the film’s director and chaired by Magdalena Skipper, about ancient DNA and efforts to bring back extinct species such as the woolly mammoth. The London Springer Nature office and staff were prominently featured in the film when Eske and co-authors visited to participate in a press briefing to share their discovery, published in Nature in 2022, with the global media.

I'm delighted to share the announcement that Colossal Biosciences has now launched the Colossal Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit arm of Colossal, and has kicked off with an initial $50 million of secured funding targeted at stopping the coming extinction crisis. As well as preserving and increasing populations of endangered and at-risk animals, Colossal is working to de-extinct Tasmanian apex predator and keystone species, the Thylacine ?? https://lnkd.in/g9DYuf-M https://lnkd.in/geAY8HCm Colossal Biosciences Ben Lamm Andrew Pask
