Last Three: Can Stem Cell Save Northern White Rhinos From Extinction?

2016-06-17 08:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World News: In a quest to halt mammalian extinction, scientists are using stem cells and assisted reproduction technology. But with only three northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) left, can science save them from completely vanishing? Sudan, Najin and Fatu--who are kept at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya--cannot breed naturally because they are related. It is with this situation that scientists came up with an audacious plan to save them from the brink of extinction. According to EcoWatch.com,...

3 Northern White Rhinos Left in World Turning to Stem Cells to Save Species

2016-06-06 18:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

EcoWatch: The world`s last three northern white rhinos, which all reside at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, are unable to breed because they are directly related to each other. Scientists hoping to save the critically endangered species, are turning to stem cells to aid reproduction. They plan to make stem cells out of adult rhino skin cells through a process called iPS, induced pluripotent stem cells. Lab-grown stem cells of this kind are pluripotent, meaning they can make any type of cell in the body....
