In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...

A study of artificial human and chimpanzee nerve cells revealed how faster-evolving DNA gives neurons the ability to build increasingly complex brain power How did humans evolve brains capable of ...

Stress, ageing, cancer. There are still no magic solutions but one factor linking all three holds out hope. And that, says ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister ...

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 ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
