Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what doesn't.

Dandelion root extract has shown remarkable potential in laboratory tests against colorectal cancer cells, triggering ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Chinese researchers have taken a big step toward a world in which we can cultivate organs for transplant, with the first-ever ...

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 ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at ...

Researchers have engineered cows’ muscle cells that can multiply without the assistance of an expensive and energy-intensive growth-boosting substance. If scaled up, they are optimistic this could ...

First-in-human studies provide hope that islet replacement therapies derived from stem cells will prove safe and effective in people with type 1 diabetes, but hurdles remain. T1D is well suited to ...

Duarte-based City of Hope has been awarded more than $11 million in grants from California’s stem cell institute in recent weeks, including a $5.4 million grant to build and fund a stem cell research ...

A new technology called PULSE (Precise Ultrasonic Liquid Sample Ejection) is set to redefine the field of single-cell research. By harnessing ultrasonic waves, PULSE offers a highly precise, automated ...
