China launched embryo-like structures made from living human stem cells to its Tiangong space station for a first-of-its-kind ...

Microgravity and higher radiation levels in orbit could disrupt cell alignment, gene expression, or organ formation.

China's Tianzhou-10 mission just delivered embryo-like structures made from living stem cells to the Tiangong space station. Experiments could shed light on how radiation and microgravity affect human ...

China in a first-of-its-kind experiment has sent “artificial human embryos” to space, aiming to learn more about how ...

Humans do not have tails, but do we have “what it takes” for a tail? Hens don’t have teeth, but they have the genes for it. With atavism, it is as if our genomes serve as archives of our evolutionary ...

It's a question that has baffled scientists for decades: could humans ever have babies in space? Now, China has taken a major step towards a definitive answer.

For all the ambition packed into humanity's plans for Mars colonies, lunar bases, and permanent off-world settlements, one fundamental question has quietly gone unanswered: can humans actually ...

A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...
