RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

Background Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, with inherited cases conferring a markedly increased risk. The underlying mechanisms driving malignant transformation by CP ...

Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Researchers at the Eye Genetics Research Unit at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) are the first in the world to use stem cells to study one of the genetic causes of Leber Congenital ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

On November 10, 2025, scientists achieved a significant milestone in the field of biotechnology by 3D printing muscle tissue in microgravity. This groundbreaking experiment was conducted with the ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

To produce muscle tissue under the most precise conditions possible, the research team led by Dr. Parth Chansoria used parabolic flights to simulate the microgravity of space. Credit: ETH Zurich / ...
