Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

The project, involving a dozen labs and data from over 600,000 individual mouse brain cells, covered areas representing over 95% of the brain. Findings from the research, published in two papers in ...

Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. Fragile quantum states might seem incompatible with the messy world of biology. But ...

When an invasive and deadly form of breast cancer called triple-negative grows, the fat cells around it seem to shrink. UCSF researchers have discovered that the cells of these tumors — so called ...

A man with type 1 diabetes has become the first patient to produce his own insulin after receiving genetically engineered cell transplants, without needing drugs to prevent rejection. The case, ...

It’s harvest day at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. As sunshine bathes the leafy university campus, scientists inside the labs work under cool fluorescent light. Clad in green protective gear, ...

Enabling patients to generate CAR T-cells internally could cut kidney cancer therapy costs, explained Dr. Wayne Marasco of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In vivo CAR T-cell therapy could drastically ...
