A study that harnesses a pioneering 3D printing technique to create tiny human blood vessel structures could eventually help ...

Scientists in Boston, Massachusetts have made reprogrammed stem cells from the blood of centenarians. They plan to share the ...

Scientists have engineered a hybrid mouse with a gene that predates all animal life. The team replaced a single gene in the ...

The team used these newly generated stem cells to help form a living, breathing mouse from a developing embryo.

Our bodies divest themselves of 60 billion cells every day through a natural process of cell culling and turnover called apoptosis.

Cellular death is a fundamental concept in the biological sciences. Given its significance though, its definition depends on the context in which it takes place, and lacks a general mathematical ...

The puppy's injured front leg was left untreated for so long it had to be amputated, a court hears. The French actor had asked for his pet dog to be humanely killed and laid in his grave.

Scientists have observed a type of cell division in a prehistoric unicellular organism that resembles the embryonic ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that are capable of photosynthesis. This breakthrough, led by Professor Sachihiro ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a decent while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official about the game.

How did the characteristic pattern of embryonic cell divisions during animal development evolve? Analysis of the multicellular development of an organism related to animals now provides some answers.

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little 'organs' inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
