King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...

Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body? There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human cells ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...
