Forget playing Doom on a calculator. Now you can play it with a clump of brain cells--no brainstem necessary.

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising ...

Japan’s health ministry has granted conditional, time-limited authorization for two stem-cell therapies derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, endorsing them for use based on early safety ...

A single injection of N,N-dimethyltryptamine, the psychedelic compound found in ayahuasca, reversed depression-like symptoms in chronically stressed mice, according to a peer-reviewed study published ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...

How many brain cells does it take to play a game of Doom?

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have achieved a remarkable feat that blurs the lines between biology and technology. Cortical Labs has cultivated 800K brain cells in a petri dish, ...
