University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Scientists have unveiled a new method for generating blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures, a development that could significantly advance regenerative therapies. This breakthrough also ...

Electrically stimulating key cells in the immune system could "reprogram" them to reduce inflammation and encourage faster and more effective healing in the body. This is the discovery of scientists ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to produce blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures in a move that could pave the way for regenerative therapies. The breakthrough also has the potential ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

Humans evolved in an atmosphere containing roughly 200–300 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Today, that ...

New research suggests that frequent blood donation can trigger genetic changes that might protect certain stem cells from becoming cancerous. Reading time 3 minutes Your regular donation of blood ...

Scientists have grown embryo-like structures in the laboratory that produced human blood cells, raising new possibilities for regenerative medicine. The ability to generate blood stem cells in the ...
