The idea that stem cells - special cells that divide to repair and generate tissues - might be the major determinant of cancer risk has provoked great debate in the scientific community. Some ...

International scientists set up a rescue plan for the last three northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) on Earth. The goal is to use the remaining three rhinos and tissue samples from ...

Researchers are now able to study stem cells from the brains of adult mice and their neurogenesis in long-term cell cultures. Scientists have developed a new method which allows them to generate ...

Blood vessels play a vital role in stem cell reproduction, enabling the brain to grow and develop in the womb, reveals new UCL research in mice. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National ...

Caltech researchers have developed a powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could ...

Plants aren't cheap-especially the very popular and pretty ones. Take advantage of the plants you already own, and multiply ...

Research by Austrian geneticists has raised the possibility that stem cells[1] could be isolated from amniotic fluid – the protective 'bath water' that surrounds the unborn baby. Geneticist Professor ...

For the first time, scientists said Thursday that they had bred mice with two genetic fathers, steering around biological hurdles that would otherwise prevent same-sex parents from having offspring.

1. In many basal metazoans, both somatic and reproductive functions are performed by cellular derivatives of a single multipotent stem cell population. Reproduction can drain these stem cell pools, ...

If humanity’s future really is in the stars, what will that mean when it comes to, well, making more humans? As a number of ...
