The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes ...

The embryo-like model could help scientists test new drugs, create stem cells for transplants and research blood disorders ...

Attached to nearly every human cell is an antenna-like structure known as the primary cilium, which senses the cell’s ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
