University of South Florida researchers have suggested a new view of how stem cells may help repair the brain following trauma. In a series of...

It's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Researchers have reached inside the brain of a rat and pulled out neural stem cells –...

A research group headed by Professor Takashi Tsuji of Tokyo University of Science have successfully regenerated fully functional bioengineered salivary and lacrimal (tear) glands. The...

Scientists have sequenced the genomes of nearly 6,900 organisms, but they know the functions of only about half of the protein-coding genes thus far discovered....

The membranes surrounding and inside cells are involved in every aspect of biological function. They separate the cell's various metabolic functions, compartmentalize the genetic material,...

Naked mole rats have what any animal would want. They live long lives -- about 30 years -- and stay healthy until the very end....

Army scientists at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) and academic collaborators are conducting research on organoids (small swatches of human tissue) on microchips. Crystal...

Similar to using Python or Java to write code for a computer, chemists soon could be able to use a structured set of instructions to...

In an advance that could dramatically shrink particle accelerators for science and medicine, researchers used a laser to accelerate electrons at a rate 10 times...

Scientists succeeded in producing 580 mg of gasoline per litre of cultured broth by converting in vivo generated fatty acid. E. coli bacteria. (Credit: Image...

Scientists routinely seek to reprogram bacteria to produce proteins for drugs, biofuels and more, but they have struggled to get those bugs to follow orders....

Our brains give us the remarkable ability to make sense of situations we've never encountered before -- a familiar person in an unfamiliar place, for...

Chemists from Nijmegen have developed a catalyst that binds to DNA, slides over it and splits the molecule in particular places. The researchers were able...
