Built using pluripotent stem cells, this tiny lung could help push science away from animal testing as well as open the doors ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...

Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even more challenging. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells. When you ...

Science succeeds by failure, just as surely as it works by success. We slowly come to know how the physical world works by learning that what we thought was true is all wrong. Science teaches us to ...
