Reviving the Giants: The Journey to Resurrect the Woolly Mammoth

Unraveling the Science Behind De-Extinction and Genetic Engineering
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D. and Team
Resurrect the Woolly Mammoth – In a groundbreaking feat of science, we stand on the brink of reviving a species that vanished from the Earth over 4,000 years ago. The woolly mammoth, a majestic creature of the Ice Age, could once again walk the tundra. But how is this possible? The answer lies in the cells of its closest living relative, the Asian elephant, and the wonders of genetic engineering.

Cell and Gene Therapy to Revolutionize the Treatment of Genetic Diseases

Cell and gene therapy is a rapidly growing field of medicine that has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of diseases. This approach uses cells or genes to repair or replace diseased or damaged cells, which can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.

One of the main possibilities of cell and gene therapy is the treatment of genetic diseases. Genetic diseases are caused by mutations in specific genes that prevent the body from functioning properly. It is possible, in theory, to correct these genetic mutations through gene therapy, which can cure or slow down the progression of the disease. Gene therapy, in simple terms, uses a harmless virus to deliver a healthy copy of the gene to the cells that need it, replacing the faulty version.
