China’s artificial embryos are part of an experiment to learn more about how human pregnancies could develop under ...

"Can humans survive and reproduce in space? I hope the answer is yes." The post China Launches Synthetic Human Embryos to ...

Millions of people each year undergo painful procedures to repair damaged or missing bone. Whether caused by injury, aging or ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have achieved an important medical breakthrough by creating the world’s first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node, often called the heart’s master conductor. This tiny part of 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 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 ...

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 ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...
