Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells, and researchers are mapping out where every one of those cells lives. Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

More work needs to be done to create viable human embryos, but the method might someday be used in IVF to help infertile people and male couples.

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than all at once.

Biologists have long been fascinated by the ability of salamanders to regrow entire limbs. Now Harvard researchers have ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Scientists have used an experimental approach to form human eggs in the lab that can then be ...

Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major breakthrough for infertility research. Using a newly developed technique to ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
