Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...

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 ...

Atrial fibrillation, the dangerous heart rhythm disorder commonly referred to as A-fib, affects more than 10 million U.S. adults. Even with so many people affected, doctors have been stuck with the ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Scientists merged human brain-like tissue with a computer chip in ...

Using CRISPR-based technologies, the MoDeL team introduces precise genetic modifications in mice, enabling researchers to uncover how mammalian genes maintain health and contribute to disease.

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Scientists have engineered an artificial womb lining, a breakthrough allowing unprecedented observation of early human embryo ...
