Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

A study finds that brief immune stress in male mice can leave lasting metabolic and behavioral effects in offspring through ...

A new study published by Cell Death & Disease provides fresh insight into how the endocannabinoid system may influence male ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and fertilizing them with sperm. The work is a laboratory ...

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 ...

Human embryos have been developed from eggs given the DNA of adult skin cells – a feat that had previously been achieved in mice. This could one day provide a way for same-sex couples or women with ...

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

Knoepfler is STAT’s Lab Dish columnist and professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Japanese regulators just quietly gave researchers there a historic OK to generate ...

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 ...

After trying to conceive for 18 years, one couple is now pregnant with their first child thanks to the power of artificial intelligence. The couple had undergone several rounds of in vitro ...

Cell biology is a world of constant motion and hidden structures. Much of what we know about cells comes from decades of research using microscopes, stains, and models. Yet, even in this well-charted ...
