Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...
Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...
"What happens inside the body when you get a scrape?"As an entry point for an interest in science, why not try turning your attention to your own body this time?Last time, I introduced the story of ...
Every second of every day, the human body replaces roughly two million red blood cells that have reached the end of their working lives. That relentless output, sustained around the clock inside bone ...
Research into human-animal chimeras could have a therapeutic payoff, but the work brings up thorny ethical questions.
