Biotech Startup Claims It’s Getting Closer to ‘Resurrecting’ the Extinct Dodo

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-19 05:26:17

A version of the dodo bird (Raphus cucullatus) could make a return someday soon. Colossal Biosciences announced this week several milestones in its quest to bring the extinct species back to life. On Wednesday, the Dallas-based company reported that its researchers at the Avian Genetics Group have successfully grown pigeon primordial germ cells (PGCs) in the lab, a scientific first. They also bred gene-edited chickens intended to serve as potential surrogates for the dodo and other ancient bird

The New ‘Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Trailer’ Is a Dark Slaughterfest

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-21 17:40:18

We’re less than a month out from Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, Netflix’s animated series based on Ubisoft’s old Tom Clancy stealth games. After an initial showing promising the return of leading man Sam Fisher (voiced by Liev Schreiber), this new trailer tells us what the thing is about and what our hero’s up against. The series sees Sam getting back in the field when operative Zinnia McKenna (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) comes to him with a watch containing blueprints for a potentially dangerous weapon

Scientists Gather to Confront the Doomsday Risks of ‘Mirror Life’

The prospect of creating “mirror life”—synthetic cells made from molecules that are mirror images of those found in nature—remains completely hypothetical. Still, the potential consequences are so dire that experts from around the world are gathering to discuss how to prevent the worst-case scenario. This week, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and other stakeholders will convene in Manchester, U.K., for Engineering and Safeguarding Synthetic Life 2025. This annual international conference e

Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose

When Astronauts Enter Space, a "Dark Genome" Activates in Their DNA

Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-01 20:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor

It consists of one capacitor (1C) and one silicon (Si)-based transistor (1T). While the capacitor’s role is to store a charge, the transistor is used to access the capacitor, either to read how much charge is stored or to store a new charge.

Aging is particularly harsh on the hippocampus -- the brain region responsible for learning and memory.

They looked at how the genes and proteins in the hippocampus changed over time in mice and found just one that differed between old and young animals. It's called FTL1. Old mice had more FTL1, as well as fewer connections between brain cells in the hippocampus and diminished cognitive abilit
