This Longevity Study Across 5 Species Found a New Pathway to Reverse Aging
Our bodies’ molecular machinery breaks down with age.DNA accumulate mutations. Their protective ends erode away. Mitochondria, the cell’s energy factory, falter and break down....
Mice With Two Dads Were Born From Eggs Made Out of Male Skin Cells
Seven mice just joined the pantheon of offspring created from same-sex parents—and opened the door to offspring born from a single parent.In a study...
Singapore family cord blood bank Cryoviva upgrades to AXP II System for cord blood processing

Hydrogel helps grow new tissue in areas of brain damage
Brain haemorrhage and brain cancer are major causes of death and disability worldwide. The brain...
Can We Program Our Cells?
IntroductionMaking living cells blink fluorescently like party lights may sound frivolous. But the demonstration that it’s possible could be a step toward someday programming...
Biocomputing With Mini-Brains as Processors Could Be More Powerful Than Silicon-Based AI
The human brain is a master of computation. It’s no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain’s playbook...
Building bits of brain in the lab will change our minds
Opinion In Hollywood, brains in jars mean three things. Mad scientists at work, we are tampering with forces we cannot control, and something monstrous...
Now we’re building computers from lab-grown brain cells
A new field of research dubbed "organoid intelligence" is emerging as scientists look to build computers from lumps of brain cells grown in a...
