Scientists have developed a method to reprogram cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside the body, potentially eliminating the need for complex lab-based manufacturing. Early results show rapid ...

Animal studies often fail to predict human tissue responses to new drugs or newly developed therapies. Besides generating ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes. But they never do it the same way twice, which makes it hard to use these so-called "organoids" to study disease. Now, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed tutorial on the numerical simulation of photovoltaic (PV) cells using single-, two-, and three-diode equivalent circuit models. These models capture ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Finnish startup Donut Lab is pushing back against industry skepticism by releasing new independent test data showing its solid-state battery performs unusually well in extreme heat. The results follow ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game without the benefit of eyes, ears, or any kind of sensory input. It's a far ...

Back in 1907, American biologist Henry Van Peters Wilson discovered that sponges will re-form into living creatures after their cells are broken apart through a fine mesh screen — demonstrating that ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As soon as this summer, Norton Healthcare may become one of 11 sites that offers a life-changing treatment for chronic ...

Norton Healthcare is opening a new islet cell lab to treat chronic pancreatitis and research a cure for Type 1 diabetes. The first phase will treat pancreatitis by transplanting a patient's own islet ...
