As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

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 ...

A study led by Brazilian researchers has reconstructed the brain environment in the lab, revealing for the first time live interactions between cancer and healthy tissue, with the potential to reshape ...

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 ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

It’s not surprising that many people fear the dentist. Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting a titanium screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to ...

A team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has successfully created a human ear using volumetric 3D ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

Researchers are cultivating human brain cells in laboratories to transform them into biological circuits for supercomputers—a field known as “bio computing.” While it sounds like science fiction, ...

The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family comprises seven members in humans, namely, STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B and STAT6. STAT proteins are structurally ...

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...
