China's Tianzhou-10 mission just delivered embryo-like structures made from living stem cells to the Tiangong space station. Experiments could shed light on how radiation and microgravity affect human ...

Recent clinical trials have shown promising results of transplanting these cells into individuals with Type 1 diabetes: ...

China launched embryo-like structures made from living human stem cells to its Tiangong space station for a first-of-its-kind ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied ...

It's a question that has baffled scientists for decades: could humans ever have babies in space? Now, China has taken a major ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

"This now will hopefully set the stage for improved ways of differentiating these cells, make these embryonic stem cells turn into other cell types that we can use for other disea ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
