Research groups around the world are working to find ways to implant or grow real biological teeth in a human jaw.
This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology.
Researchers have found a new way to produce human blood cells in the lab that mimics the process in natural embryos. Their ...
Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University used a technique called mitomeiosis to create functional embryos by replacing the DNA from eggs with genetic material from a person’s skin cells.
It may have its roots in science fiction, but a small number of researchers are making real progress trying to create computers out of living cells. Welcome to the weird world of biocomputing. Among ...
Scientists say the method could take a decade or more to be ready for human use FRIDAY, Oct. 3, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Oregon scientists have taken an early step toward creating lab-grown eggs using ...
Women in their 60s and 70s could theoretically one day give birth to genetically related children, according to scientists pioneering a breakthrough technique that converts DNA from skin cells into ...
Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have achieved a scientific first: transforming human skin cells into eggs that can be fertilized in the lab. Their study, published Tuesday in Nature ...
The method could one day become a treatment for infertility A decade of further research needed, scientists say The process overcomes an obstacle that stymied previous attempts Significant safety ...
Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...
Human embryos have been developed from eggs given the DNA of adult skin cells – a feat that had previously been achieved in mice. This could one day provide a way for same-sex couples or women with ...
