The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more interesting. You, me, and all of the 108 billion or so Homo sapiens who’ve ever walked the Earth have all been our own constellation of some 30 trillion cells. …

Mice The mice used in this study were housed in pathogen-free facilities at the University of Chicago and Stanford University. All mice were housed in positively pressurized, individually ventilated cage racks and changed in biological safety cabinets. Cage supplies were sanitized using hot water (82 °C). Bedding and shredded-paper enrichment were autoclaved and cages were provided with irradiated food. Reverse Osmosis …

Microsoft Excel is testing a new AI-powered function that can automatically fill cells in your spreadsheets, which is similar to the feature that Google Sheets rolled out in June. You would use the “COPILOT” function followed by a natural language prompt and (optionally) specify the cells you want it to reference; the AI would then classify information, generate summaries, create …

Chinese scientists have found a way to turn human stem cells into dopamine-producing brain cells, transplanting them into mice and helping reduce depressive behaviour and boost pleasure. When the engineered neuron-like cells were grafted into depression-model mice, they helped lessen symptoms like anxiety and resignation while increasing feelings of enjoyment. The development has the potential to be employed as a …

Share on PinterestWhat makes ‘superagers’ special? Image credit: Tlotliso Mapana/Stocksy Research is ongoing about what components contribute to healthier brains as people age. Recent research identified some unique brain features of ‘superagers,’ people at least 80 years old who perform cognitively similarly to people decades younger. The research also identified that superagers tended to be more sociable than their peers. …

The idea of taking blood from the young to rejuvenate the elderly is getting an increasing amount of attention from scientists, and a new study has shown how some of the youthful properties of our skin can be restored with this kind of blood swap. A special 3D human skin model was set up in the lab by researchers, who …

Japanese regulators just quietly gave researchers there a historic OK to generate human embryos from stem cells in the lab — no ovaries or testes needed. Scientists in Japan and around the world are quickly working toward making viable human eggs and sperm from stem cells, a process called in vitro gametogenesis, or IVG. Those stem cell-derived sperm and eggs …
