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

Of course. This is just a list of someone's ideas for equivalently difficult (and transformative) unsolved problems in biology. Many of these would of course have obvious and immediately impactful practical applications, unlike the math problems.

At least those things cannot be solved by just burning GPT tokens.

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