Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle pulses of pressure to coax single cells into building mineral and collagen.

It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...
