Cells can now be genetically programmed to record their histories within their genomes, a development that could revolutionize the study of developmental and disease processes, according to a ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists, co-led by Northwestern University, has taken a crucial step toward implantable "living pharmacies"—tiny devices containing engineered cells that continuously ...

New research may offer hope for endangered species Findings offer potential for regenerative medicine field Earlier study used different method for 'bipaternal' mice Jan 28 (Reuters) - Scientists in ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood. Their results ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

If we could listen to stem cells closely enough, we might hear them whisper, “mechanosenses tingling.” After all, stem cells sense and react to the physical forces around them, maintaining their ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...
