A jellyfish that measures roughly 4.5 mm across, smaller than a human fingernail, can do something no other known animal ...

Chinese scientists found human reproductive cells struggle to differentiate in space, but their research offers insights for ...

UCLA researchers found NDRG1 builds up in old muscle stem cells, slowing repair but boosting survival. Blocking it speeds healing.

THEIR MAKERS call them “SpudCells”. Unglamorous as that sounds, it is still somewhat flattering. A potato is solid, robust and purposeful. The cells made in Kate Adamala’s lab at the University of ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

Cancer cells grow uncontrollably even when there's no need for more cells. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells can "hide" from the immune system and keep growing. Cancer cells are not always predictable ...

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells possess a nucleus enclosed within a cell membrane, making up one of the three domains of life, Eukaryota. They include multicellular organisms such as plants, ...

A startup out of Utah, Paterna Biosciences, says it has successfully grown functional human sperm in a lab and used the sperm to make visibly healthy-looking embryos. The technique could eventually ...

A longstanding mystery in mosquito biology has been solved, opening a potential new path for controlling mosquitoes and the diseases they spread. For decades, scientists believed that juvenile hormone ...

Studying chemical chatter as tiny balls of cells embed could shine a light on early pregnancy and glitches that lead to miscarriage Researchers have created the lining of a womb in a dish, which ...

You may know it takes one sperm and one egg to make a baby but, if you're like most people, you might not remember much else about sperm from biology class. If infertility is an issue for you and your ...

Scientists have successfully used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a breakthrough that could revolutionize fertility treatment. The research, published in the journal Nature ...
