Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

J ohn Moult remembers the time he was floored by an algorithm. Moult, one of the organizers of the Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) competitions and a computational biologist ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

In April 2026, a team of bioengineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology unveiled a genetic security system that works ...

Chips seeded with the astronauts’ bone marrow cells circled the moon to help probe how deep-space flight affects human ...

It can be estimated theoretically that more unique biological interactions exist than stars in our known universe. The ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

From simple cells to complex creatures—watch how life can spiral into chaos and creativity. 🔬 ...
