For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered how a key type of immune cell adapts its behavior depending on the type of infection, paving the ...

Scientists have mapped underappreciated scaffolding cells in skin, known as fibroblasts. They show for the first time how ...

Using mice with stroke-induced brain damage, the researchers found that injections of human stem cells could successfully ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...
