Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting pioneering stem cell and nanomaterial experiments that could reshape treatments for cancer, blood disorders, and radiation injuries.

Most gene-editing tools cut DNA wherever they’re pointed, with no way to tell a tumor cell from a healthy one. A study ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

A new technology called PULSE (Precise Ultrasonic Liquid Sample Ejection) is set to redefine the field of single-cell research. By harnessing ultrasonic waves, PULSE offers a highly precise, automated ...

A new machine learning tool called PhysMAP separates the electrical signatures of different cell types, offering a new way to ...

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 ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...
