As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

A study led by Brazilian researchers has reconstructed the brain environment in the lab, revealing for the first time live interactions between cancer and healthy tissue, with the potential to reshape ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Every person who has ever been pregnant leaves a biological trace that is far more intimate than a family photo album. During ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

Spaceflight may make certain types of human stem cells age faster, a study suggests — but at least some of the damage may be reversible. Spending time aboard the International Space Station (ISS) ...
