Researchers at the University of Minnesota created the cell from chemical compounds and were shocked by how it behaved.

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 ...

Nature is beautiful, powerful and essential. But nature is not always gentle. The same biological world that gives rise to forests, coral reefs and human life also produces infections, cancer, genetic ...

The FastGene ® Cell Culture Chamber provides an additional layer of protection inside the incubator, ensuring that ...

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 ...

Tiny, quivering spheres designed to feed and multiply raise prospect of artificial organisms to make drugs, food and fuel ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

How readily a cell divides and how well it survives are fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body's ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Scientists created a $100 3D-printed battery cell that could make renewable energy storage research faster, cheaper, and ...
