Days of unregulated and unscientific stem cell research in India are numbered with government expected to issue guidelines which clearly disallow human cloning, make donor consent mandatory for
In promising new research, stem cells worked remarkably well at easing symptoms of muscular dystrophy in dogs, an experiment experts call a significant step towards treating people. "It's a great
The archaic human species that dominated Europe until 30,000 years ago is about to emerge from the shadows. With the help of a new DNA- sequencing machine that operates with firefly light, the bones
In a study that would have seemed like science fiction a decade ago, scientists yesterday published the first results from the "Neanderthal genome project". They show that Neanderthals split from our
Scientists in Britain have restored sight to blind mice by transplanting stem cells at a key stage of development into damaged retinas, the journal Nature reports on Thursday. The feat is being
Stem cells grown from mouse embryos helped power a liver replacement device, Japanese and US researchers reported. Their experiment suggests another use for the cells, controversial when taken from
Injecting human embryonic stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's disease patients may cause tumours to form, US researchers reported on Sunday. Steven Goldman and colleagues at the University of
