Australian scientists successfully create first-ever kangaroo embryo using IVF

In a historic scientific breakthrough, Australian researchers have successfully created the first-ever kangaroo embryos using in vitro fertilisation, The Guardian reported. Scientists in Australia achieved a breakthrough by creating kangaroo embryos via IVF Scientists from the University of Queensland employed ICSI to create eastern grey kangaroo embryos by injecting a single sperm cell into a mature egg, setting the stage for potential conservation applications for endangered marsupial species. Our ultimate goal is to support the preservation of endangered marsupial species like koalas, Tasmanian devils, northern hairy-nosed wombats, and Leadbeater's possums," Dr Gambini stated. Future implications for endangered species The research team hopes to use IVF to preserve genetic material from deceased animals, thereby enhancing biodiversity and ensuring the long-term survival of vulnerable species.
