In 2022, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs made a big splash after announcing that it had taught “mini-brains” consisting of 800,000 to one million living human brain cells in a petri dish how ...

To settle lingering health fears, scientists blasted human skin cells with intense 5G signals to see if the radiation does any damage. Reading time 2 minutes More research has confirmed that, no, ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that works like ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. The ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...

Human eggs seem to dispose of their waste more slowly than other cells do, which may help them avoid wear and tear – and explain why they live longer. Every woman is born with a finite number of egg ...
