Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

US-based Conception said more work is needed to grow the eggs to full maturity, but called the achievement a 'major ...

We’re just beginning to decode this faint optical “signature of life” and what it could reveal about health, disease, and the ...

For nearly half a century, scientists have known that malaria parasites force their way into human red blood cells through a ring-shaped structure called the moving junction. What no one could work ...

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 ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

A protein called “Mitch” may hold the key to a new generation of obesity treatments. Researchers found that disabling it in human cells boosts fat burning, increases energy use, and makes it harder ...
