Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Nanoparticles could enable gene therapies for cancer and genetic disease that don't use modified viruses, which may cause new forms of cancer or dangerous immune system reactions in some patients.

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed an improved method for creating insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. The results, ...
