Supreme Court Bars Stem Cell Therapy For Autism: Why The Ruling Matters
The Supreme Court has ruled that stem cell therapy cannot be offered as a treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder, calling its use outside approved clinical trials unethical and medical malpractice.

Human Heart Regrows Muscle Cells After Heart Attack: Study
In a world-first discovery, scientists in Australia have found that the human heart can regrow muscle cells after a heart attack, raising hopes for future regenerative treatments for heart failure.

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.

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.
