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 ...
Listen to more stories on the Noa app. The little clump of cells looked almost like a human embryo. Created from stem cells, without eggs, sperm, or a womb, the embryo model had a yolk sac and a proto ...
Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...
MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases ...
A new experimental therapy helps restore the heart’s flexibility in models of stiffened heart failure. Michael Gotthardt and his colleagues at the Max Delbrück Center are working with U.S. researchers ...
Language enables people to transmit thoughts to each other because each person’s brain responds similarly to the meaning of words. In newly published research, my colleagues and I developed a ...
