Researchers from Harvard and Emory universities in the US have crafted a bionic fish out of two sets of lab-grown heart muscle cells, one set for each side of its flexible tail. When one set of cells contracts, the tail is pulled in one direction, and vice versa for the …

The study, titled MicroAge, will see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket deliver the cells to the International Space Station (ISS) to explore what happens to human muscles, how people age and why. The cells, the size of a grain of rice, have been grown in labs and placed into small …

A previously secret report authored in January 2000 by senior members of the White House’s then-national security team, which concluded that US intelligence was ill equipped and ineffective in the face of a major and ever-growing domestic terror threat, has at last been declassified. Dubbed the ‘Millennium Alert After Action …

The upgraded bots built on work first unveiled by scientists at Tufts University and the University of Vermont last year, improving on the design to allow them to move faster, live longer and assemble themselves to work collectively as one unit, a process known as “cellular self-organization.” Outlined in an …

A new paper published in Scientific Reports found that glial cells – non-neuronal cells that operate in the central nervous system – spring into action hours after a person passes away. Not only do the brain cells come alive, but they also expand in size and grow arm-like appendages.  Study …

Scientists from a Japanese University in Osaka reported on the successful and unique in its kind transplant. They decided to treat the patient’s heart is but an organ transplant is fully used lab-grown heart muscle cells. On the damaged areas of the human heart they put biodegradable sheets (0.1 mm …

Under normal circumstances the stem cells of frog embryos would skin and heart tissue of living beings, however, the progress of scientific knowledge has turned them into the first ever living robots. Scientists from the University of Vermont with the help of special algorithms modified stem cells of a frog …

Scientists have found that mammals, too, there is a natural mechanism of regeneration. American researchers have found that prevents to recover the retina. The regeneration of the inner lining of the eye in humans and mammals, prevents a natural mechanism, do not give rise to living tissue. The researchers changed …

The resulting vessels have not yet been tested on human tissues, but have successfully passed the test on mice. To grow blood vessels from stem cells could researchers at the University of British Columbia. This is the first experience in the world. The experiment was conducted using Petri dishes. It …

Perovskites – a group of materials with similar crystalline structure that can compete with traditional silicon solar panels due to the flexibility, low cost films and the relative simplicity of the production process. However, there are still some features of the structure and potential effect of the replacement of such …
