The field of infectious disease research faces persistent challenges in bridging the gap between laboratory findings and successful clinical translation.

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 ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

In what is being described as "the world's first code-deployable biological computer", an Australian startup has taught a petri dish containing 200,000 human brain cells to play the iconic 90s shooter ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Looking ahead: Every year, tens of thousands of Americans receive organ transplants, yet demand still outstrips supply. Now, a research team at Carnegie Mellon University believes the way out of that ...
