Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...
Every person who has ever been pregnant leaves a biological trace that is far more intimate than a family photo album. During ...
A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...
Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...
Ultimately, Mars will test our biology more than our technology. Every gram of muscle preserved, every synapse protected, every cell repaired will be a triumph of physiology. Space may dismantle the ...
This hybrid system lets researchers zoom in on living human cells with incredible detail. This offers a new real time insight into how the flu virus operates. For the first time, researchers could ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...
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 ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
A Frankenstein's lab for growing 'spare' human bodies sounds like something ripped straight from an episode of Black Mirror. But scientists really want to make this gruesome concept a reality. In an ...
A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...
From interactive diagrams to A.I. assistants, virtual tools are beginning to supplant physical dissections in some classrooms Students learn anatomy from an Asclepius AI Table, which merges ...
