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 ...

Vitamins have been a part of our lives for generations, haven't they? From the bright orange chewable vitamin C tablets of childhood to the little capsules tucked into kitchen cabinets, they've always ...

GIDL is primarily caused by band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) at the drain junction under high electric field conditions. This ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

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 ...

They also show that models learned from nonsynonymous mutations and from out-of-frame sequences are different, prompting new questions about germinal center function. Strengths of the study include an ...

Diphtheria can lead to serious complications, such as respiratory failure, if left untreated. The outbreak thus far has ...

As a neurologist at the forefront of research into Alzheimer's disease, I have worked with people who have managed to stop ...

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 ...

Deep sleep plays an important role in learning and memory storage, "by facilitating a process called 'memory consolidation,' ...

The new research is the first to look back at early mammals in full color. Using advanced fossil imaging methods and a ...

Small-cell lung cancer is a highly malignant form of lung cancer, also known as oat-cell carcinoma, that accounts for approximately 15% of lung cancer cases. Composed of small, ovoid cells with ...
