The lab-made cell pushing the boundaries of life, explained.

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 ...

In 15 days, scientists grew bovine cell structures that contained muscle, nerve, and blood vessel precursors in a valuable ...

Defying long-held biological rules, an immature "starter" immune cell managed to stay young and divide indefinitely for ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Adaptyv Raises $40 million to build an automated wet lab that lets AI design, test, and improve proteins at scale.

When a cell gets ready to divide, it shuts down its gene-reading machinery almost entirely. For decades, the mechanism behind ...

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...

Researchers at VIB, VUB and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (UK) have discovered a hidden ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...
