A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...

While one may think that the brain, after a certain age, doesn’t function the same and that cognitive decline is inevitable, ...

Biologist Jan Skotheim and his team have zeroed in on a previously unknown mechanism within the cell growth cycle that controls cell size. Cells were discovered in 1676, and almost immediately ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

Professor Kenji Osafune (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) and his team of researchers have devised an effective means to grow iPS cell-derived kidney progenitor cells, paving the way for ...

Researchers have created a magnet-containing gel mat that simulates the mechanical forces exerted on muscle cells during exercise. The novel ‘workout mat’ might assist in testing treatments for people ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.

Cultivated meat needs growth factors in order for its cells to grow. These are usually added to the cell culture media at considerable expense, impacting potential for commercialisation. New research, ...
