Four teams have coaxed human stem cells to organize themselves into embryo-like forms. The advance could shed light on fertility. By Carl Zimmer In its first week, a fertilized human egg develops into ...

A treatment that could protect premature babies from brain damage showed promise in a recent study in Sweden. Using a ...

The agency seeks information on how the consortium can fuel “self-improving” models that pull in scientific data from ...

As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments. The ...

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 ...

The most advanced lab-made human embryo models look like the real thing — they resemble, though don't perfectly replicate, natural embryos about 14 days into development. These lab-made embryo models ...

The lab as we know it today is being transformed by how we think about medical research and drug discovery, as well as the intersection of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. As someone who has ...

People have always looked for patterns to explain the universe and to predict the future. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” is an adage predicting the weather.

From growing mini-organs to reviving the dodo and gene-editing embryos, boundaries between sci-fi and today's advances are ...

The traditional way to make an embryo is to combine a sperm cell with an egg, often after dinner and a bottle of wine. But a new way may be around the corner. In recent years scientists have ...
