Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the ...

This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

How can we ensure that life-saving drugs or genetic therapies reach their intended target cells without causing harmful side effects? Researchers have taken an important step to answer this question.

Resurrection beyond cellular disintegration is simply impossible. However, when a person dies, cell death itself isn’t instant. Researchers are taking advantage of a timed window during which they can ...

Scientists mapped where drugs bind inside the body, cell by cell, to better understand benefits and side effects.

When you take a drug, where in your body does it actually go? For most medications, scientists can make only educated guesses about the answer to this question.

There are different theories of aging, and scientists have found various ways to measure biological age. Mutations that happen in DNA as a result of exposure to various environmental factors, such as ...
