Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how computer chips work.

Examples of planar soft cells with two sharp corners in nature and in architecture. Left column: geometric soft cells. Middle columns: natural examples. Right column: examples from the architecture of Zaha Hadid. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Researchers describe the steps they took to manipulate DNA and proteins -- essential building blocks of life -- to create cells that look and act like cells from the body. This accomplishment, a first in the field, has implications for efforts in ...

Scientists have successfully used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a breakthrough that could revolutionize fertility treatment. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications on September 30, is still just a proof of concept.

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, or in other words, what type of cells they will become ...
