University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

It’s not exactly Tru Blood, but scientists have created synthetic blood and are testing how the human body reacts. The lab-grown red blood cells are not intended for vampires, but rather for people ...

Blood grown in a laboratory has been transfused into humans for the first time in a landmark clinical trial. Two patients in the U.K. have so far received tiny doses of the lab-grown blood as part of ...

For the first time ever, human patients have received transfusions of blood cells that were grown from stem cells in a lab. A clinical trial investigating the safety of the procedure is currently ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Researchers used genetic material from human blood and lab-grown brain cells say they have made progress in developing a blood test to identify disease-associated changes in the brain specifically ...

What if we could repair fundamental parts of our bodies? Gene therapy promises just that. It's like having a molecular mechanic that can fix or replace faulty genes, potentially curing diseases ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, a team of Australian scientists has successfully grown the world’s first fully functioning lab-made human skin that comes with its own blood supply. This breakthrough, ...
