Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

The journey of early pregnancy begins with fertilisation and continues as the embryo travels to the uterus. Timing plays a key role in successful implantation. This article clarifies how pregnancy ...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is worried about cell phones. Under the department, the Food and Drug Administration has removed webpages that asserted the devices are safe, according ...

A novel screening strategy for identifying embryogenesis-related factors by integrating frozen one-cell embryos, inhibitor libraries, RNA-seq analysis, and genome-editing approaches. A research team ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...

CD7 is an attractive target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Supportive results of first-in-human studies of base ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

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 ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...
