Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

We have two types of hair, says dermatologist Elizabeth Houshmand. Vellus hairs, or “peach fuzz,” cover virtually our entire ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way to communicate peril. They just use a long, slow 'scream', rather than the ...

The human body is one of the most complex and fascinating machines ever studied, yet there’s still so much we don’t ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis in thick muscle tissues, and the challenge of integrating biological ...

Life, Death and Art in the Middle Ages, Dr. Jack Hartnell explores how societies at the time understood the human body, and ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

According to Judicial Watch, documents show that the NIH under Collins provided nearly $3 million in tax dollars to support a ...
