Amid warnings of accelerated worldwide extinctions, a group of Japanese scientists has created cloned mice from freeze-dried skin cells. Although cloning is nothing new, this is the first time researchers have been able to clone from freeze-dried skin cells. The new method is expected to help overcome challenges faced in current biobanking methods. The experiment was conducted at the University of Yamanashi.
