Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A first-of-its-kind trial is testing adult stem cell transplants for advanced dry macular degeneration. Early results show the treatment is safe and can significantly improve vision, even in severely ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

The minimally invasive procedure, known as MACI, is expected to last 15 years or longer, significantly more than traditional repairs. The recovery process involves months of slow, specific physical ...

Scientists have successfully used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a breakthrough that could revolutionize fertility treatment. The research, published in the journal Nature ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have achieved a scientific first: transforming human skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab. Their study, published Tuesday in Nature ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells. When you ...

Scientists said Tuesday they have turned human skin cells into eggs and fertilized them with sperm in the lab for the first time—a breakthrough that is hoped to one day let infertile people have ...

The method could one day become a treatment for infertility A decade of further research needed, scientists say The process overcomes an obstacle that stymied previous attempts Significant safety ...

Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
