It's missing some important stuff? Like creating bacteria that can produce fuels or break down plastics.
Bacteria that break down plastic already exist, both naturally and synthetically. Optimizing those is one of the most popular student projects in my university. Hardly a millennium problem.
Demonstrate the ability to cryopreserve and recover live wild-type mice with high viability.
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
At least those things cannot be solved by just burning GPT tokens.
Who is this by? Who verifies the result? Is there prize money?

This is all well outside my area of expertise, but my impression is that Michael Levin's work with bioelectricity is on the cusp of #6 Somatic limb regeneration.
SMEs please correct the record if I'm mistaken.
Unfamiliar with Levin’s work, but:
There’s also this study [0] I read recently, along a different path of using known growth factors and proteins to kick off regeneration.

It's missing an obvious one: morphogenesis.
It’s strange they are all engineering problems.
