The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of certain ...

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

Researchers are making ever more sophisticated mini organs in the laboratory — and now the organoids can grow their own blood vessels. The structures, which mimic the heart, liver, lungs and gut, are ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
