WIN FACTORY




The Audubon Research Center for Research of Endangered Species in New Orleans successfully produced two male African black-footed kittens — an endangered species of which only 40 remain — using frozen embryos created in 2005 from the in vitrofertilization of an egg with sperm frozen in 2003.

The efficacy of the technique may offer hope for the survival of other threatened species through long-term cell storage.
