Some cities fight gangs with ex-members who educate kids and starve gangs of new recruits. Stanford Medicine researchers have done something similar with cancer—altering cancer cells so that they ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Ordinary fat cells in obese animals can be induced to burn energy stores, generating substantial heat, according to a ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have reached an unexpected milestone in the fight against infertility. Starting from simple skin cells, they have successfully created human eggs ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Scientists succeed in creating an artificial pancreas that regulates glucose, opening the door to treating diabetes without injections.

The field of science is littered with epic debates. But every so often, those dogmatic clashes yield fruitful new discoveries. Case in point: Some scientists believe they’ve discovered a new brain ...

Early data suggest chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy can achieve meaningful long-term results. A novel cell therapy that first emerged as a treatment for hematological malignancies may be ...

When the CEO of Nvidia talks, decision-makers listen, from investors to business executives to Nobel Prize committees. Ever since Jensen Huang observed six months ago that “for the first time in human ...

For the first time, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have succeeded in using nanorobots to stimulate stem cells with such precision that they are reliably transformed into bone ...

Researchers used nanorobots to precisely stimulate stem cells into bone cells by applying pressure to cell walls, enabling faster future treatments. Prof. Berna Özkale Edelmann’s nanorobots consist of ...
