Imagine trying to understand all of life on Earth by looking not just at whole organisms, but by zooming in to see every kind of cell they’re made of – like building a world atlas, but at the ...

Lab-grown meat is, technically, real meat (depending on how you define “real”) grown from animal cells in a controlled environment. It starts with a small sample of animal stem cells that multiply in ...

A magnetic microrobot navigates lung airways, drills microlesions, gathers biomarkers, and rapidly classifies cancer tissue with Raman sensing and machine learning in a single integrated workflow.

Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed for myriad applications, such as "smart" medicines and materials. But like ...

Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying associative threat learning is essential for advancing behavioral models of threat and adaptation. We investigated distinct activation patterns across ...

Hundreds of readers responded to our poll asking if it would be OK to experiment on lab-grown "brains" if they became conscious.

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — About 1 in 10 children are born with at least one missing permanent tooth due to congenital anomalies. And a much higher percentage of adults lose teeth from decay or injury over their ...

New research shows fat buildup disables brain’s immune defenses in Alzheimer’s. A mouse treatment cleared plaques in just one week.

A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...

A natural psychoactive compound shows promise in protecting brain blood vessels and reducing inflammation, offering potential new strategies against stroke.

For treatment, the team used a new light-based therapy called optoRET. This method uses light to control brain signals and help brain cells function better. When the Parkinson’s mice were treated with ...
