	Drinking Alcohol Does Not Kill Brain Cells
	You've heard this one before: Alcohol kills brain cells. No one was wrong about that actually. Pure alcohol does kill brain cells and many other types of cells, but according to a recent research, the amount of alcohol you can consume without killin...
	Stem Cell Researchers Just Figured Out How to Create New Embryos
	Researchers from the University of Virginia have made a scientific discovery: they figured how to turn stem cells into full blown fish embryos! That means, scientists can control embryonic development. And that means, they could potentially grow org...
	Scientists Used Stem Cells and Lasers to Cure Paralysis in Mice
	Paralysis will one day be a thing of the past, that is for sure. Scientists are working hard on reversing the effects of it. A new team used stem cells and optogenetics to circumvent the central motor system of lab mice whose nerves had been cut. T...
	Scientists Managed to Herd Cells Like Cattle with Electrical Fields [VIDEO]
	The University of Berkeley made a new discovery. They were able to herd cells using an electrical field. As Emil du Bois-Reymond discovered back in 1843, damaged human tissue generates a different electrical field than intact flesh. This differenc...
	Study Retracted: Acid Doesn't Convert Blood Cells Into Stem Cells
	A study by a team of Japanese scientists claiming they could dip blood cells in acid and they turned into stem cells is now being retracted. Many laboratories have agreed that the method could not recreate their published results. “When conducting t...
	Stem Cells Repair and Strengthen Muscles in Mice
	It goes without saying that aging comes with a host of problems. You become weaker. Your muscles too. They grow less strong with age. But what if we could repair them with stem cells? Scientists at the Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology have su...
	Scientists Put Tiny Sound-Powered Motors Inside Living Cells. Means Big For Medical Science [VIDEO]
	Scientists have successfully inserted nanomotors into living cells. They can now control its movement. This sounds like science fiction, but it isn't. The team of chemists and engineers from Penn State University developed the nanomotors after exp...
	Researchers Grow New Hair From Stem Cells
	Don't want to wear a toupee no more like Christian Bale's character from American Hustle? The cure for baldness may be here exactly just yet, but scientists have just announced a potentially revolutionary discovery. They turned mature skin cells int...
	Acid Turns Blood Cells into Stem Cells in 30 Minutes
	Mining stem cells may not be an ethical quandary anymore. Scientists have successfully turned old blood cells into stem cells in just 30 minutes by dipping them in acid. The process is as simple as that.The method was discovered by a bunch of Japane...
	Scientists Create the First Working Cell Made From Plastic
	A team of scientists have produced a functioning cell - made from polymers. You're looking at the first ever eukaryotic cell. It contains a nucleus and other sub-units known as organelles within its membrane and are made from plastic. Eukaryotic cel...
