A laboratory experiment has raised a specific safety question about a byproduct connected with sucralose. In human cells, the ...

Scientists have advanced human-animal chimera research by successfully growing human cells within the organs of mice. This development could bring experts closer to the goal of custom-growing human ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...

Scientists at Stanford have grown human brain tissue inside mice, and in some of the animals, this tissue now accounts for half the brain by volume. The point of the experiment published in Nature is ...

A landmark experiment led by Stanford University researchers expands the scope of what we can learn from lab-grown neural ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

And yes, the human neurons worked inside the mouse brain. The transplanted tissue became part of the animals’ nervous system, ...

The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990, preceded by decades of breakthroughs in genetics. It eventually gave us a ...

Scientists have grown human brain tissue to fill most of a mouse’s cortex, creating a new model for studying brain disease ...

New research shows it's possible to reprogram skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab, though it's just a proof of concept for now. Reading time 3 minutes A team of scientists has ...

Sucralose, the artificial sweetener used in Splenda, came under scrutiny after a study found that a related chemical damaged ...

For decades, many scientists have thought that a single type of starter cell gives rise to the entire brain. But experiments now challenge that fundamental picture, providing evidence that it takes ...
