The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize ...

Testing on stem cells in petri dishes may be revolutionary Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? This is even more exciting for ALS patients. By Carina Seah. Published June 24, 2019 3:00AM (EDT) ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Biomedical engineers have created a new method for growing cells in three dimensions rather than the traditional two. This 3-D petri dish allows cells to self-assemble, creating cell clusters that ...

Networks of brain cells in a petri dish can be trained to keep time like hourglasses, a new study says. The discovery may help scientists reveal how our brains track time, an ability fundamental ...

A group of scientists out of Melbourne, Australia have proven that brain cells in a dish can learn how to play Pong.The experiment is one of the first times that cells like this have shown the ...

Since the late 1800s, biologists have used petri dishes primarily to grow cells. In the medical field, they are used to identify bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis.

Cells racing in tiny race track; Credit: Nature. Most “normal” people race in race cars, in marathons, or on bikes, but not these people. No, these researchers raced cells in Petri dishes.

Scientists have reprogrammed adult cells, generating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells within the tissues of mice. The scientists, from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), also ...

It would certainly spare mothers the hardships of pregnancy, but mammals do not grow in eggs. In a way, this is also impractical for science. While embryos of fish, amphibians or birds can be easily ...
