Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

Reversing Ageing in Mouse Eggs: Research Reveals Breakthrough with Potential for Human Fertility
Scientists have achieved a breakthrough by reversing ageing in mouse egg cells, a discovery that could lead to advancements in human fertility treatments. By implanting aged eggs into younger follicles, researchers observed significant improvements in egg cell health and function. This innovative approach may pave the way for new methods to address...

Scientists Create Part-Human, Part-Pig Embryo
The experiment, described Thursday in the journal Cell, involves injecting human stem cells into the embryo of a pig, then implanting the embryo in the uterus of a sow and allowing it to grow. After four weeks, the stem cells had developed into the precursors of various tissue types, including heart, liver and neurons, and a small fraction of the d...
