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 ...

Four teams have coaxed human stem cells to organize themselves into embryo-like forms. The advance could shed light on fertility. By Carl Zimmer In its first week, a fertilized human egg develops into ...

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 ...

In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images. Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists ...
