    Demonstrate the ability to cryopreserve and recover live wild-type mice with high viability.

    > 06 - Somatic limb regeneration

    Demonstrate the ability to regenerate lost limbs in adult wild-type mice.

    Interesting, but looks like these problems are proposed in September 2026, unlike original 7 Millennium Prize Problems of Maths

      I thought we already managed to successfully cryopreserve and recover small rodents like hamsters in the 50s.
