New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Miniaturized Human Heart On A Chip Offers Promise For Safer Cancer Treatments
The groundbreaking technology addresses a critical concern in cancer therapy. Many effective cancer drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage.

Men's Eggs, Women's Sperm: Stem Cell Science May Change How We Reproduce
It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.

Scientists Develop First Synthetic Human Embryos Using Stem Cells
These embryo-like structures are at the very earliest stages of human development.

Scientists Reveal The Reason Why Your Hair Turns Grey As You Age
According to a team of scientists, melanocyte stem cells become stuck inside the hair follicle and are unable to produce pigment.

Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Developed Brain Grown Using Stem Cells
Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Scientists Grow "Model" Human Embryos From Stem Cells
Scientists have developed a human embryo "blueprint" using human stem cells, in a breakthrough that could provide vital insight into the early stages of infant development, new research showed Thursday.

Hunger May Halt Brain Development And Boost Growth When Nutrients Reach The Cells; Finds A Study
The team was able to find how brain cells respond to good nutrition or the lack of it, which aimed at improving prenatal care in humans and may also help in current research in the lab on the role of neural stem cells in recovery from brain injury.

Japan Okays Research Using Human Cells In Animals
Japan has given the green light to a controversial research process involving implanting animals with human stem cells that could eventually help grow human organs for transplant inside animal hosts.
-
Kidneys Grown In Rats Could Pave Way For Human Transplant Options
Scientists said Wednesday they have successfully used mice stem cells to grow kidneys in rat embryos, using a technique that could one day help grow human kidneys for transplant.

Scientists Grow Tiny Human Retinas in a Dish
Plenty of questions remain about how well they mirror eye development in the foetus, since they lack many other peripheral structures.

Forget The 401(k), Stem Cell Benefits May Let You Cheat Death
A stem cell storage company that promises the chance for a longer and healthier life, Forever Labs asserts that young, healthy cells may someday be used for what Chief Executive Officer Steven Clausnitzer calls "health maintenance."

Experts Find Out A New Way To Attack Herpes Viruses
Human cytomegalovirus is a leading cause of birth defects and transplant failures. As it's evolved over time, this virus from the herpes family has found a way to bypass the body's defense mechanisms that usually guard against viral infections.

Human Brain Grown In Mice To Boost Cure For Neurological Disorders
In a first, US scientists have grown miniature human brains or human brain organoids, in the skulls of mice, a breakthrough that could boost stem cell research as well as provide insight into neurological disorders such as autism, dementia, and schizophrenia.
