With innovative bioreactor as womb, mouse stem cells transform into organ-filled embryos
August 2, 2022
What happens in embryonic development is one of nature’s best guarded secrets, unfolding deep in the mother’s body. Now, researchers have opened a new window on the process. They’ve made artificial mouse embryos from stem cells—no sperm or eggs required—and used an innovative bioreactor to nurture their creations for longer than any previous embryo models. The simulated embryos developed anatomy that matched the real thing and “very impressive similarities at the cellular level
Physicists Have Simulated The Primordial Quantum Structure of Our Universe
July 29, 2022
Astrophysicists from the University of Göttingen in Germany and the University of Auckland in New Zealand used a mix of particle movement simulations and a kind of gravity/quantum modelling to predict how structures might form in the condensation of particles after inflation occurred
Recently Discovered Lipid Can Prevent Your Cells From Dying
July 29, 2022
An international consortium of research groups led by Andreas Koeberle from the Michael Popp Institute at the University of Innsbruck has now been able to prove that a membrane lipid called PI (18:1/18:1) is significantly involved in the control of stress responses that stop these reactions and inhibit cell death. The study, published in the research journal Nature Communications, opens up many interesting medical possibilities
