A study using tiny retinas grown in a lab has revealed how subtle changes in a key growth-controlling protein can lead to a condition causing serious eye defects from birth. The findings, published in ...

Mars may be hostile, but it might not be entirely unlivable. In lab experiments, yeast cells survived simulated Martian shock ...

Spiders are among Earth's most resourceful predators, nabbing prey by any means necessary. Orb weavers spin webs for capture.

Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with ...

Researchers introduces an innovative chemical strategy to create biomimetic structures with greater efficiency.

Local researcher will work with wide range of institutions, including UCSD, Scripps Research, Duke University and MIT, to use ...

Organoids are miniature, simplified versions of an organ. Over the past two decades, scientists have developed them for the ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

As more labs have adopted this methodology, they’ve created increasingly complex structures, including interconnected systems ...

Tiny yeast cells have shown they can handle conditions similar to those on Mars. In lab tests, they survived both intense ...

In the United States, spiders that are dangerous to people include the brown recluse, which carries a necrotic toxin that ...

The wave-shaped chart Ratul Chowdhury pulls up on a computer monitor in his office captures the evolutionary cat-and-mouse ...
