The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood.

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to ...

In May 2024, the CDC reported that three Americans who received embryonic stem cell injections in Mexico were infected with a serious, highly drug-resistant form of bacteria related to those that ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the ...

Over the past 18 years, the MSCRF has allocated $208 million in funding to 600 research projects and 41 different entities within the state.

Only a few universities nationwide, including the University of Southern California and Harvard, offer courses that allow ...
