6 core challenges that researchers must consider as the race to create models that are ever closer to real human embryos heats up.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Science is often associated with complex terminology, but occasionally researchers show a surprising sense of humor. Over the years, scientists have assigned some truly bizarre names to discoveries — ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

New research links Wnt signalling to aggressive paediatric liver cancer and chemoresistance. Learn what this means for treatment.

Just in time for Heart Month, the laboratory of University de Montréal medical professor and CHU Sainte-Justine researcher Rubén Marín‑Juez has unveiled the first comprehensive atlas of coronary ...

A first-in-human trial shows the feasibility and safety of delivering placenta-derived stem cells during prenatal ...
