Microscopic robots made out of a patient’s own cells may be able to work inside the body to repair damage, scope out signs of disease, or fight off infections.
Results for "embryo"
How do plants “see” light?
Scientists reveal a new mechanism by which plants chase the Sun and bend their primary stem to optimize light capture.
Creating realistic “squishy” brain tissue in the lab
Growing brain tissue requires capturing the realistic “squishiness” and cohesion between cells, but how each cell type contributes has been a mystery.
How vitamins have shaped human biology and evolution
Vitamins play a much broader role than just promoting health, shaping and maintaining our unique biology over evolutionary timescales.
Harnessing piezoelectric materials to regrow neurons
When activated by mechanical stress, a piezoelectric material efficiently stimulates the differentiation of stem cells into new neurons.
Scientists uncover mitochondria’s role in reproductive aging and fertility
New study reveals the crucial role of mitochondria in female reproductive aging, offering potential insights into improving fertility preservation and IVF outcomes.
How our cellular “antennas” affect aging
Scientists have linked cilia found on cell surfaces with mechanisms for aging, and they’re hoping to help people live longer healthier lives.
How extreme exposure to a common plasticizer might be affecting male fertility
Using mouse embryos, scientists explore the impact of high exposure to a common plasticizer on male fertility, but caution: the dose makes the poison.
Using organoids to advance equity and inclusion in drug discovery
Addressing the lack of diversity in drug testing, scientists are using organoids from voluntary donors to enhance equity and inclusion.
Nevada’s ichthyosaur graveyard: Shedding light on a prehistoric mystery
Nearly 200 million years before modern whales, school bus-sized marine reptiles called ichthyosaurs may have been making similar migrations to ancient breeding grounds.
