Scientists Discover Method To Revive Ageing Human Cells By Boosting Mitochondria
Scientists developed nanoflowers from molybdenum disulfide, designed with microscopic pores that act like sponges to absorb harmful reactive oxygen species in targeted tissues.

Breakthrough In Lab-Grown Mini-Organs Could Revolutionise Disease Research: Report
Scientists have successfully grown lab-made heart and liver organoids with their own blood vessels, marking a significant step toward realistic human organ models for disease study and drug testing.

Hope For Skin Disease Patients As Scientists Grow World's 1st Human Skin In Lab
In a first, a team of Australian scientists has grown the world's first fully functioning lab-made human skin with its own blood supply. The advance may pave the way for better treatment of skin diseases, burns, and grafts.

NASA Crew-11 Astronauts Begin Pre-Launch Quarantine Ahead of July 2025 Flight
NASA’s Crew-11 astronauts have entered the final stage before launch: a two-week quarantine designed to prevent illness before their mission to the ISS. Led by commander Zena Cardman, the four-person team also includes Nick Hague, Thomas Pesquet (ESA), and Alexander Grebenkin (Roscosmos). The team will launch no earlier than July 31 from Kennedy ...

Scientists Seek To Cultivate 'Spare' Human Bodies For Medical Miracles
Lab-grown "bodyoids" could transform medical research and organ transplants, but raise ethical questions about defining human life.

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.

New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Miniaturized Human Heart On A Chip Offers Promise For Safer Cancer Treatments
The groundbreaking technology addresses a critical concern in cancer therapy. Many effective cancer drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage.

Men's Eggs, Women's Sperm: Stem Cell Science May Change How We Reproduce
It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.

Scientists Develop First Synthetic Human Embryos Using Stem Cells
These embryo-like structures are at the very earliest stages of human development.

Scientists Reveal The Reason Why Your Hair Turns Grey As You Age
According to a team of scientists, melanocyte stem cells become stuck inside the hair follicle and are unable to produce pigment.

Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Developed Brain Grown Using Stem Cells
Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Scientists Grow "Model" Human Embryos From Stem Cells
Scientists have developed a human embryo "blueprint" using human stem cells, in a breakthrough that could provide vital insight into the early stages of infant development, new research showed Thursday.

Hunger May Halt Brain Development And Boost Growth When Nutrients Reach The Cells; Finds A Study
The team was able to find how brain cells respond to good nutrition or the lack of it, which aimed at improving prenatal care in humans and may also help in current research in the lab on the role of neural stem cells in recovery from brain injury.
