Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Scientists have made a landmark breakthrough that enables the creation of viable human egg cells from a skin cell, new research claims. The study, published in Nature Communications, detailed how US ...

The microbiome—the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body—plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells are found ...

The discovery of chemical signatures of lead in hominid fossils challenges our understanding of ancient environmental ...
