Imagine being 80 years old and discovering that some of your body’s cells could be made to resemble those of a teenager. It sounds like something pulled straight out of science fiction, but researchers in Germany have achieved something remarkably close in a laboratory experiment. Scientists at the University of Bonn have reprogrammed blood cell …
A woman in her 50s has received a custom-made, 3D-printed windpipe after surgery to remove thyroid cancer left part of her original airway missing. The procedure, performed in South Korea, marks a significant development in medical technology, combining living cells, specialised printing equipment, and years of scientific research to create a replacement designed specifically for …
Scientists have made a promising discovery that could help overcome one of the biggest challenges in developing new cancer treatments: producing enough immune cells to keep fighting the disease. A team led by researchers at the University of Southern California has found a way to grow and genetically engineer special precursor cells in the laboratory …
Scientists have found a way to make cells from an 80-year-old donor display a molecular age of less than 20, opening up new possibilities for studying how the body ages. The discovery came with an unexpected detail: the rejuvenation happened gradually, allowing researchers to watch the process unfold over more than 100 days. The research, …
