Scientists Create Gene-Edited "Peter Pan" Cane Toads to Curb Invasive Species in Australia
Australian researchers are turning to bioengineering to tackle the invasive cane toad crisis. A new gene-edited "Peter Pan" toad, designed to stay juvenile and never mature, could help control the species by preying on its own siblings.
Plans are underway to release these modified toads into the wild, where they’re expected to limit population growth from within. While counterintuitive, this self-limiting approach aims to disrupt the relentless spread of the pests without introducing new toxins or predators.
