Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded.

Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such ...

Nanoparticles could enable gene therapies for cancer and genetic disease that don't use modified viruses, which may cause new forms of cancer or dangerous immune system reactions in some patients.

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 ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed an improved method for creating insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. The results, ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into ...
