Mice that contain cells with an added rat chromosome have been created by scientists. The next step is to try this with ...

Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long ...

Damaged DNA can escape from one human cell and infiltrate another. Like prisoners tunneling out of jail, this DNA travels via tubelike structures between neighboring cells, scientists report May 19 in ...

If you’ve just binged the latest season of Invincible and are left craving that same blend of visceral action, moral complexity, and adult humor, you’re in luck. 2026 has emerged as a golden year for ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have been genetically modified with protein nanoparticles designed at University of ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...
