Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture ...

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 ...

Discover how ASTAR and NUS' new joint lab aims to advance synthetic biology for commercial applications in vaccines, biofuels, and sustainable chemicals. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, pioneered a new method for encapsulating cells within small, soft ...

Collagen, the protein that builds skin, bones, tendons and organs, exists inside cells as a liquidlike droplet rather than ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

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 ...

Results overturn assumptions about the body's primary structural building block, opening potential new avenues for treating fibrosis and cancer.

Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

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 ...
