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...

Scientists Create World's First "Synthetic" Embryo With Brain, Beating Heart: Report
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created world's first "synthetic" embryo that has a brain, a beating heart, and the building blocks for every other organ in the body.

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.

First-Ever 'Synthetic Embryo' Developed Entirely Using Stem Cells From Mice
Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

Iron Nanowires for Bone Cell Formation Developed, Could Pave Way for Degenerative Bone Disease Treatments
In a remarkable finding, scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that could pave way for new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. In their study, the scientists developed a technology that involves the use of iron nanowires. These nanowires bend in response to magnetic fields. Scientists grew bone-forming stem cells on the mesh of...

First Woman Said to Be Cured of HIV After Stem Cell Transplant
A women suffering from leukaemia is the US is reported to be the first woman and third patient in the world to have been cured of HIV after stem cell transplant.

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.

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."

Alcohol Abuse Makes Women More Vulnerable Than Men: Study
It is revealed in a study that alcohol abuse kills most neural stem cells and reduces production and development of new nerve cells that impairs normal cognitive function

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...

Scientists Grow Mouse Eggs From Stem Cells In Lab
Japanese scientists said Monday they had grown mouse eggs entirely in the lab, then fertilised them to yield fertile offspring, a scientific first cautiously hailed by experts in human reproduction.

3D 'Mini-Retinas' Grown From Human Stem Cells
Scientists have developed an efficient way to make 3D 'mini retinas', which mimic the organ's tissue organisation, from mouse or human stem cells.
