Scientists Discover Molecular 'Passports' That Control Cell Nuclei
Israeli and US scientists have discovered how tiny gateways in human cells control what enters and leaves the cell's nucleus, solving a mystery that has puzzled researchers.

Our Bodies Emit A Faint Visible Light That Fades When We Die, Suggests Study
This phenomenon, known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE) or biophoton emission, suggests that all living things subtly glow during life, a glow that fades when life ends.

Russia Launches Bion-M No.2 with Mice, Flies, and Seeds to Study Space Biology
Russia’s latest resupply mission to low-Earth orbit has delivered a unique scientific cargo: 75 mice, 1,000 fruit flies, microbes, cell cultures, and plant seeds aboard the Bion-M No.2 biosatellite. Over the next month, these organisms will orbit Earth, helping scientists study how microgravity and cosmic radiation affect life. Some mice are gene...

Muscles, Microbes, And Microgravity: India's First Biology Experiments In Space
India has taken its first bold steps into space biology with a series of pioneering experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of the Axiom-4 mission-referred to by some as Mission Akash Ganga.

Inflammatory Cells Continues After Severe Asthma Treatment: Study
While biological drugs or biologics have improved the lives of many people with severe asthma, a new study shows that some immune cells with high inflammatory potential are not completely eradicated after treatment.

NASA-ISRO Launch Joint Space Biology Experiments on Axiom Mission 4
NASA and ISRO are launching a series of innovative biological and technological experiments aboard Axiom Mission 4, targeting a June 10 liftoff. Investigations will explore muscle cell health, seed germination, algae growth, and the survival of tardigrades in space. They will also study astronaut interactions with electronic displays. These microgr...

How To Reproduce With Two Fathers - And No Biological Mother
At the International Summit on Human Genome Editing, held in March 2023 at the Francis Crick Institute in London, Japanese researcher Katsuhiko Hayashi stunned attendees when he explained how he had successfully reproduced mice from two male parents.

In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...

Parasite Manipulates Plant Cells to Attract Insects for Its Transmission
A bacterial parasite influences plant cell behaviour to attract insects and secure its transmission. Research reveals how the SAP54 protein manipulates plant defences, encouraging female insects to choose plants with male leafhoppers. This adaptation ensures the parasite’s life cycle continues by promoting reproduction and feeding in infected pla...

L’Oréal Cell BioPrint With Non-Invasive, Personalised Skin Analysis Unveiled at CES 2025
L’Oréal Cell BioPrint has been unveiled at CES 2025 as a non-invasive device offering personalised skin analysis within five minutes. It can determine the biological age of a person's skin, analyse the effects of active ingredients, and predict cosmetic issues like dark spots before they appear. The device is expected to be available in Asia lat...
