In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...

Lab-grown brain tissue is too simple to experience consciousness, but as innovation progresses, neuroscientists question whether it's time to revisit the ethics of this line of research. When you ...

Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...

Our incoming mayor is a proud graduate of the Bronx High School of Science and therefore knows a worthy science project when ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

This image shows a human egg after its original DNA has been replaced with DNA from an adult skin cell. (Mitalipov laboratory) Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells ...
