Researchers at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute have characterized an unexpected signaling pathway that helps drive ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Sucralose, the artificial sweetener used in Splenda, came under scrutiny after a study found that a related chemical damaged ...

Stem cell transplants helped regenerate stroke-damaged brain tissue in mice, producing new neurons and restoring lost motor function. The treatment also improved blood vessels, inflammation, and the ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease ...

The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990, preceded by decades of breakthroughs in genetics. It eventually gave us a sequence of the human genome. Yet, while the physical rules behind the genome's ...

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a proof of concept for now. Reading time 3 minutes A team of scientists has ...

The experiment was designed to give human brain cells a living environment where they could grow, mature and connect with ...
