Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

A large-scale atlas of mouse brain cells has revealed that aging does not affect all brain cell types equally. Some cell populations show dramatic shifts in gene activity between youth and old age, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

AI has all but overtaken the thinking universe. Training an early version of ChatGPT consumes about 1300 megawatt-hours of electricity, roughly the amount used by 130 American homes. It takes a human ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study published in ...
