Researchers at Tufts and the Wyss Institute have built living 'neurobots' from frog cells that self-organize simple nervous systems, altering movement and gene activity in surpris…
A viral Fox News call where 'trump appears endorse eugenics' has reignited debate about science, history and politics. Experts say the remark echoes discredited pseudoscience with…
New lab studies show engineered microbes can colonise oxygen-poor tumor cores and, with built-in safety circuits, nibble cancers from the inside while other teams repurpose immune…
A young Australian woman with a rare Cowden‑syndrome variant describes needing 'virtually every test, every six months, for life'. This article explains what a hereditary cancer p…
Scientists warn future human appearance will be shaped by demography, technology and environment — not a single predictable path. This article explains the likely directions evolu…
Professor John Donoghue, creator first brain chip and founder of BrainGate, says implantable brain–computer interfaces are moving from lab demos into human trials — raising new te…
A reported AI-designed bacteriophage has thrust into public view how quickly computation can generate novel genomes — and renewed debate about biosafety, dual use and governance.
Researchers report converting a donor kidney to universal type O using targeted enzymes and transplanting it into a brain‑dead recipient. The result—published in Nature Biomedical…
Three recent research teams have pushed brain implants in different directions: a salt-grain-sized optical recorder, a paper-thin high-bandwidth cortical chip, and injectable cell…
Generative models are now creating synthetic DNA enhancers and genetic circuits that reliably switch genes on or off in specific mammalian cells, accelerating therapy design while…
Recent laboratory studies show several routes for injectable 'nanorobots' to reach and disrupt tumors in animals — but important biological, manufacturing and regulatory hurdles r…
Researchers are wiring lab-grown human neurons to electronics to build low-power, adaptive ‘biocomputers’. Early demonstrations—from Pong-playing neuron cultures to voice‑recognit…
Researchers at the University of Florida used blood-filled mosquitoes as mobile DNA samplers, identifying dozens of vertebrate species in a single preserve — a striking conservati…
Generative AI fused with surgical robotics is moving from lab demos into operating rooms, raising questions about safety, regulation, and whether machines will augment — or ultima…
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have built a two‑millimetre, entirely animal‑free synthetic brain tissue scaffold that supports active neural networks — a s…
An investigation this week found sperm from an anonymous donor carrying a TP53 mutation linked to Li‑Fraumeni syndrome was used to conceive at least 197 children across Europe, ra…
Laurent Simons, a Belgian prodigy who has just earned a PhD in quantum physics, is now pursuing medical research with AI and has publicly described ambitions to develop human enha…
Scientists and startups are converging on two very different routes to extend life: biological rejuvenation and digital afterlives. This article surveys the real progress, remaini…
