Most of the surface is covered by a vast sea of liquid ammonia, in which a unique aquatic ammonia-based biosphere has developed. While the frozen continents are largely bereft of life, a rich bounty of complex organisms — many larger than a human — flourish in the chilly, toxic seas.

Other early phase trials are based on improving the inflammation that is a result of sickle vasoocclusion and vasculopathy by reducing the activation of invariant natural killer T-cells (NCT01788631) and using a statin as an anti-inflammatory (NCT01702246).

However, several generations of “mammophant” breeding would be necessary before it would be possible to sire a genetically “pure” mammoth.
