In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

One notable success story is the cloning of Przewalski's horses, once extinct in the wild. Kurt, the first cloned ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome."Like the full-size organs in our ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Scientists have successfully used frozen human cells taken from nerve tissue to restore nerve conduction in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. “Such cells could potentially be used in humans ...

“The cells preserved at the Frozen Zoo are remote and distant, and not connected at to all the ecosystem. All it is, is the essence. But cells are life, and one of the questions is, what can we ...

However, there’s some evidence that the freezing process can decrease the quality of stem cells and may slightly increase the risk of cancer relapse, so Devine says Ossium’s approach may be ...

A 'biorepository' of frozen animal cells on the moon could regenerate life, report scientists at Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, DC.

Its cells reach a temperature below the freezing point of water — chilled, but not enough for ice to form. Its metabolism slows so much it does not have to eat.
