Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its own ...

Stem cells hold a tremendous amount of research promise. At one time, obtaining them seemed to be a nearly insurmountable challenge, until a process was invented by Gladstone Senior Investigator ...

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said. By Carl Zimmer On Thursday, 38 prominent biologists ...
