Fitting sperm cells with a steering mechanism offers a new way to target treatments.

Growing designer babies and bringing back the woolly mammoth. Such thoughts that were once considered fiction are now a looming reality for scientists who are steps away from building artificial life.

Being able to sleep well in old age can cut the risk of developing a wide range of mental and physical disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, say scientists.

Crazy levels of RNA tinkering could explain how cephalopods got so smart

In news that will come as no surprise to anyone over the age of 30, new research has found it gets harder to sleep as we get older.

Now, scientists at the Salk Institute, in collaboration with researchers from Peking University, in China, are reporting their discovery of a chemical cocktail that enables cultured mouse and human stem cells to do just that: generate both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues

Complex neurotechnological devices are required to directly select and influence brain waves inside the skull’s interior. Although it has become relatively easy to implement the devices, researchers are still faced with challenges when trying to keep them running properly in living organisms over time. But that could be changing now, thanks to a new method. A research team was able to create a microprobe that grows into the neural tissue without inflammation and with the help of a medicinal coa...

Researchers biochemically induce self-renewing mechanism to help retina sense light

Australian cancer researchers have uncovered a promising new approach to treating pancreatic cancer by targeting the tissue around the tumour to make it ‘softer’ and more responsive to chemotherapy.

DGIST's research team have been conducting research to reverse the aging process by shifting the existing academia's 'irreversibility of aging' paradigm that suggests aging cannot be reversed. To reverse the aging process, the research team searched for factors that could control aging and sought substances that could restore cell division capacity.
