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

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

A study led by Brazilian researchers has reconstructed the brain environment in the lab, revealing for the first time live interactions between cancer and healthy tissue, with the potential to reshape ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

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 ...

Weighing a single living cell sounds like a party trick, yet the numbers involved are so small that they push the limits of ...

It’s not surprising that many people fear the dentist. Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting a titanium screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
