[b]Jurassic Spark: Scientists in Japan Revive 28,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Cells[/b]
Scientists in Osaka, Japan have succeeded in prodding cells from a 28,000-year-old woolly mammoth into showing signs of "limited biological activity."
The Kindai University noted that despite the fact that they had yet to see cell division, their research "suggests that, despite the years that have passed, cell activity can still happen and parts of it can be recreated."
The University said the research represented a "significant step toward bringing mammoths back from the dead."
