A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have discovered a previously unknown way viruses could spread around the body, potentially ...

Programmed cell death is an essential part of a healthy, normal life as the body removes old, damaged or unnecessary cells.

The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University have observed the same type of programmed cell death in microalgae as in humans. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, shows that this ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

A breakthrough discovery by scientists at India's CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) has revealed that human cells possess an intrinsic ability to revive from near-death states.

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

Embryo-like structures – dubbed hematoids by the experts that developed them – were created using human stem cells.
