Shubhanshu Shukla Leads Key Experiment To Decode Muscle Loss In Space
IAF Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla has undertaken a key experiment to decode muscle health in space -- crucial for astronauts undertaking long space missions as well as for people with muscle loss on Earth.

Summer Solstice 2025: When Is The Longest Day Of Year & What Does It Mean?
Traditionally, the solstice marks the longest day and the start of summer. The event has fascinated civilisations for thousands of years.

Baldness Cure Found? New Treatment Triggers 100% Hair Regrowth In Mice
Madrid researchers develop stem cell-ATP treatment reversing pattern hair loss in mice, potential breakthrough for androgenetic alopecia.

Researchers Develop Innovative Model To Study Sense Of Smell: Study
Using three-dimensional model, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) have discovered that key stem cells in the nose that regenerate small neurons, helps in treating loss of smell.

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.

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...

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

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...

COVID-19 Virus’ Link That Potentially Increases Brain Infection Risk Found, Claims Study
A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

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.

First-Ever 'Synthetic Embryo' Developed Entirely Using Stem Cells From Mice
Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Iron Nanowires for Bone Cell Formation Developed, Could Pave Way for Degenerative Bone Disease Treatments
In a remarkable finding, scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that could pave way for new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. In their study, the scientists developed a technology that involves the use of iron nanowires. These nanowires bend in response to magnetic fields. Scientists grew bone-forming stem cells on the mesh of...

Stem Cell Therapy Offers a New Hope to Repair Brain Damage in Newborns
Stem cell therapy, earlier proved effective for animals, have now been used to treat newborns with brain damage. The researchers, including a team from University Medical Center Utrecht, administered stem cells to 10 newborns via nose droplets, a procedure that took only several minutes.
