Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
The little clump of cells looked almost like a human embryo. Created from stem cells, without eggs, sperm, or a womb, the embryo model had a yolk sac and a proto-placenta, resembling a state that real ...
Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence have become commonplace. According to some commentators, rapid advances in large language models signal an ...
Transplanted human stem cells successfully repaired macular holes in monkey models of the disorder. This is according to a new study from researchers at the Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research at ...
Artificial intelligence has traditionally advanced through automatic accuracy tests in tasks meant to approximate human knowledge. Carefully crafted benchmark tests such as The General Language ...
Treating neurological and cardiac disorders remains challenging. One major reason for this is a relative scarcity in disease models available to researchers. The advent of induced pluripotent stem ...
Among the myriad abilities that humans possess, which ones are uniquely human? Language has been a top candidate at least since Aristotle, who wrote that humanity was “the animal that has language.” ...
