The European Research Council (ERC) will fund Prof. Anupam Sengupta’s research into how bacteria interact with and control light, and possible opportunities for new imaging technologies. The grant of ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Scientists have successfully used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a breakthrough that could revolutionize fertility treatment. The research, published in the journal Nature ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells. When you ...
