Researchers may have uncovered why neural stem and progenitor cells do not develop into neurons after helping to repair injury in the central nervous system.

Scientists have attempted to improve methods for cryopreservation of rat spermatozoa, which usually provides notoriously poor results.

Recently, a group of bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh discovered a case of goblet cell regeneration that is both easily accessible and happens incredibly fast on cells isolated from early developing frog embryos.

Researchers have discovered an internal mechanism which may protect human cells from oxidative damage, which could help in understanding age-associated problems.

Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered, in unprecedented detail, how ovaries age in non-human primates. The findings reveal several genes that could be used as biomarkers and point to therapeutic targets for diagnosing and treating female infertility and age-associated ovarian diseases, such as ovarian cancer, in humans.

Far from being the “brains-in-a-dish” touted by some sections of the media, cerebral organoids, hunks of neural tissue designed to act as in vitro models of neural processes, might actually fail to replicate even basic tenets of neuronal development, suggests a new study.
