Colossal Biosciences is growing chickens in a 3D-printed artificial eggshell<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe baby chicks were shifting and starting to pip\u2014or trying to hatch. But not from an egg. Instead, these chickens were growing inside transparent 3D-printed plastic cups at the Dallas headquarters of Colossal Biosciences.<\/p>\n
The biotech company yesterday claimed it has developed a \u201cfully artificial egg\u201d as part of its effort to resurrect extinct avian species, including birds like the dodo and the giant moa.<\/p>\n
Some scientists think Colossal is overstating the breakthrough. But the technology may represent an early step toward artificial wombs.<\/p>\n

MIT Technology Review Narrated: this scientist rewarmed and studied pieces of his friend\u2019s cryopreserved brain<\/strong><\/h3>\nL. Stephen Coles\u2019s brain sits in a vat at a storage facility in Arizona. It has been held there at a temperature of around \u2212146 degrees \u00b0C for over a decade, largely undisturbed. Before he died in 2014, Coles had the brain frozen with an ambitious goal in mind: reanimation. <\/p>\n
His friend, cryobiologist Greg Fahy, believes it could be revived one day. But other experts are less optimistic. <\/p>\n
Still, Fahy\u2019s research could lead to new ways to study the brain. And using cryopreservation for organ transplantation is becoming a viable reality. <\/p>\n
